I have tenderness and swelling in my lower left leg and foot. Tenderness is mainly on the top of the foot but the swelling is from mid-calf to sole. Elevating my leg has not seemed to reduce the amout of swelling and the pressure caused by the swelling.

Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears to be the rheumatoid arthritis, filariasis,or deep vein thrombosis.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have M.R.I. for diagnosis.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days,and then periodically till the pain is under the controle.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods till the pains are completely controlled.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
