Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Foot

I have been to my dr 4 times for foot swelling I have not been injured and they put it down to insect bites, this didn't make sense as I had been bitten on both legs but only 1 foot was swelling, they eventually ran bloods to test liver and kidney function which came back normal. I have today developed a tingling and burning sensation in the calf when I have sat for a long time and there has been pressure on the back of my leg at the top and there is a cramping feeling aswell at the top of my leg. The Dr said there is evidence of minor vericose veins, I am being sent for more bloods tomorrow to check for clots and a scan. Any ideas?

Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. It is likely to be due to vitamin and trace elements deficiency. You can take supplements of vitamin and trace elements. Vitamin D may be done to rule out vitamin D deficiency and if found low vitamin D3 supplements can be taken. Till then you can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Elevation and active toe movements will be useful in reducing swelling.You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
