Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Foot

Hi Dr. I m experiencing pain, redness and swollen to the top of my left foot. Recently I was diagnosed with Lumbar Spondylosis. Severe pains down my left lower extremity and foot. Had a MRI and found a cyst to my L4/ L5. Do you have an idea what may have caused my foot problem. I ve been icing and elevating it. Thank You

Hi
This isn't related with your lumbar problem. Rather it has signs of inflammation. It can be cellulitis. Clinical examination is needed. Any history of trauma, insect bite, etc ? Show to a surgeon for accurate diagnosis.
Thanks
