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.
I have swollen ankles and feet that the sides of my foot protrude and very difficult to wear shoes. The pain is so itense at night that I cant sleep. When I do lay down the pain intensifies and I cant stand on my feet without holding on to something. I have a stiffneck, vey tired and don t know what is wrong. Ibuprofe 800 mg does nothing for the pain.
Dear as the symptoms direct ,are we having flat foot? More over plantar fascitis might be a possibility for not being able to stand.Does the pain aggravate in morning hours after bed? In such cases we first of all should rule out a arthritic or rheumatic cause with certain blood tests. More over to start with let us have hot water fomentation both legs before bed regularly to start with and do consult your physician with a RA factor,serum uric acid ,calcium,vit D3 done. Hope this helps welcome for further queries.
