What Causes Swelling And Pain In The Left Foot?
Severe swollen Left foot. Has very little pain but my tolerance is very high. There is a strong redness around foot and ankle area. Had a prior cut on bottom of foot which resulted in out patient surgery to remove two one shards of glass over and inch long. Have not had additional problems after removal. Another note is I m severely allergic to fire ants. Had an issue with them last year that resulted in similar effects. Planning on urgent care tomorrow - Left foot is double size of right. Do not recall injuring foot physically. what do you think and recommend

Hello,
As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
