What Causes Swelling In The Feet And Walking Difficulty?
I have swelling from my feet up to my legs. I have difficulty walking. If I try to step on a stool I can barely bare the weight. Sometimes my feet and legs will just swell all of a sudden. There is a little throbbing pain in my right leg, for a few days there was a pain in left arm above the elbow. there was pain in right arm below the elbow. It felt like something was moving, I feel this a lot in my right leg. sometimes legs get so heavy that I can not lift them. I am taking HCTZ, and Amlodipine. There is also fluid on my left knee-per osteoarthritis.

Hi,
Most probably it is due to a contusion or thin line fracture.
Consult an orthopedician and get an MRI scan to rule out a fracture.
As of now, you can take analgesics like Aceclofenac or Tramadol and can apply ice packs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
