What Could Swollen Foot With Painful Hip Suggest?

Thank you. My left foot has been swelling a lot during the day. Overnight it comes down, and then starts swelling again. Should I be concerned and go to my physician? I am 72 and in good health except for a painful hip (loss of cartelage (sp) ). Ann L.

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that your ankles are swollen. I think you should get your kidney and heart function test to know the cause. Till then you are advised to keep limb elevated on nights. You are advised not to keep limb dependent. For swelling and pain you can take anti inflammatory such as ibuprofen. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. I think I have answered your query. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your query.
Wishing you a good health. Take care.
