What Can Cause Acute Pain In The Left Foot?
Hi,I need a proper guidance as I have been to doctors but all in vain ,I had some 3-4attacks (episodes of pain,sweating ,breathlessness , heaviness in my chest,acute pain in my left hand and head,also during this time my palpitation was so high that I could hear it and if anyone keeps his/her hand the one could feel the heart beat running v fast). For which once in emergency the doctor who came in as I couldn t even move because of all I have mentioned above,he said that I am having an angina pain so he put me on some Tablet called coraline (i suppose that was the name,dont remember to correctly though,but it costed heavy like Rs.600/- so for one week course) and he told me to have it for 6weeks atleast. Now,for last say 7-8 days I started having some very very acute pain on my left foot (where it all started from) and the in a day it also started in my right foot,by this time my left was already swollen little bit and I was limping ,then after I kind of staying alone ignored it ..my left hand ALSO started Hurting real bad with an acute pain shooting all over sometimes towards my neck ,my ribs ,my collar bone,then for last two day especially in the evenings my left hand has started swelling up,last night it was so badly swollen up that it got stiff and I couldn t really move or bend my fingers ,now also while I am typing to you I am having a shooting pain which comes and goes in every 5-10min or so in my left side. I really want to know whats going on,as I dont really have anyone with me and I stay alone,i would like to seek a correct guidance please help.

hello
thanks for posting here.
i have gone though your description. your initial symptoms of sweating, breathlessness, pain, heaviness in the chest seem to our angina type of pain and you should be on medications for the same. coralan is used to keep heart rate under control and it alone will not help. You have to be on atleast the following medications: blood thinner medications like aspirin 150 mg, a cholesterol lowering medications rosuvastatin 20 mg. Other medications may be added according to your symptoms and examination. coralan can be continued. Also you need to do an EKG, 2 D ECHO, and if both are normal then a treadmill test. for the pain in joints we have to evaluate you for arthritis. so do a CBC, serum uric acid levels and RA factor. You will probably get the answer to your sufferings by these tests. If not further workup can be done. But as of now the above tests are enough. Also avoid red meat and alcohol for the time being.
thank you
