What Causes Swelling On The Foot?

Yes...for about 5 months my left foot has been swollen on the top. It was not injured. It doesn t hurt...it just gets swollen and tight and by the end of the day the toes are all fat and swollen as well. I don t know what type of doctor I should see for this. I have RA & Psoratic Arthritis, but both have been in remission for several years and I am not an any medicines at this time. My Psoriasis has been flaring on my scalp, but nowhere else. I don t have a regular GP...so not sure where to start.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The pain in rheumatoid arthritis is typically painful, for that any type of arthritis is always painful unless you are on any painkillers. Since you don't have pain it can be a pedal edema which has numerous reasons. So I would suggest you to consult an internal medicine specialist and get a full physical examination done.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
