What Can Cause Pain And Swelling In The Foot?
I m having pain and swelling in my foot, located on outside bone of right foot for three weeks. Bone located in middle of foot below ankle bone and swelling is underneath the bone on bottom of foot, limited to underneath outside bone of foot that hurts. Painful when I step on it and when walking. I have not injured my foot; cannot figure out what symptons relate to. Don t know whether to see an orthopedic doctor or podiatrist.

Hi,
It may be due to contusion sprain developed after a minor trauma treatment prolonged walking. As of now you can take analgesics like Acetaminophen or Diclofenac for pain relief. Also apply ice packs for faster recovery. If symptoms persist, better to consult an orthopedics and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
