One week ago the top of my right foot started hurting. I went to put my shoe on and it was so sore and sensitive. It's been getting worse and today I noticed that its spreading up through my ankle and the bottom of my leg. It's also swollen, red, and tiggly all over. Does anyone have any idea of what is causing this?

It could be CELLULITES, which normally starts as a result of a furuncle or a small bruise that may have gone unnoticed. Whatever, but presently you require a dose of antibiotics and rest in order that cellulites must not spread. You need to get yourself checked for diabetes also as it may have been one of the underlying factors that would have caused the small problem to have flared up. Good luck.

This would be a signal of the startings of a situation referred to as Talipes, or clubfoot. As the little one develops, hold a acheck at the form of the foot and appear to peer whether or not it curls in certainly while you're, for illustration, laying her in her crib or replacing her diaper. There are a number of distinct forms of Talipes, probably the most normal being Talipes Equinovarus, in which the foot malforms in order that the little one is easily going for walks on their ft and heel, with out the middle discipline of the foot touching the ground. The situation is correctible via the dressed in of a splint to keep the foot in location at the same time the little one is going for walks, after which later, while older, the little one could endure an operation to wreck and reshape the foot, consequently surroundings it again into the right function. I could very strongly propose you notice your pediatrician as quickly as you'll be able to humanly control.

I'm not a Dr. so I can't diagnose this, but I am a nurse and can only say that if the skin is red, swollen and tingly, there could be an infection or nerve involvement. Don't rely on internet answers for this. Go see a Dr. now, it could be serious and the sooner they catch whatever it is, could save you a lot of problems in the future.

it is possible you have cellulitis and should seek out your family doctor as soon as possible. once you've done that or ruled that out, it could be stress fracture. on the other end of the spectrum, it could be a charcot joint. you don't give much background on your health history, diabetes, etc. so this may be an extreme diagnosis, however check out the informative website regarding foot conditions, myfootshop.com. use the source as direct link to site and see if anything sounds like your problem.

if your not diabetic i reccomend getting checked for it. the pain, redness, are a sign of an inflammatory reaction and this is definately not normal. could possibly be phlebitis, Diabetes, a foot/fungal infection.

The best thing for you to do is go to the doctors. It could be gout. but we're all guessing here, go to the foot doctors. Good luck.

The red makes it a bit more serious.. suspect phlebitis, but needs to be checked, and soon.
