Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Last year after winter I noticed that second and third toe on left foot got swollen and were bigining to separate. After while they started swelling, than thumb got swallen and two outside toes got swolen after couple of months. After that the whole foot got swallen to the hight of a sock and on the inside of the foot above hill I get swelling during the day but over night it recedes to about normal. The overall situacion seems to be recedind but I am wondering if there is a way to assist this receding becouse I have problem wearing shoes. Born 1948 but all my blood and other findings are witheen normal. With regards! Mirko Oplanic
I think the swelling and pain may be simply related to tendinitis. Overuse, physical exercising and increased activity may be causing the issue. I think you may need to avoid these activities, have rest and use anti-inflammatory drugs such advil or acetaminophen for pain. It may need some days to get better.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
