Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swelling and pain in foot along with numbness in toes . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like arthritis , gout , blocked blood vessels , corn and callus or infection in the joint. I would suggest you to apply ice pack to ankle , take proper rest and ankle and keep your leg elevated while sleeping . Side effects of certain medicine can also cause such symptoms .Consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination. Doctor my order CT scan, MRI along with physical examination to rule out any injury . Doctor may prescribe allopurinol , methotrexate along with anti inflammatory or antibiotics . Doctor may also refer you to cardiologist in case of blood vessel blockage or neurologist for nerve problem like neuropathy.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
