How To Overcome The Swelling And Pain On Top Of My Left Foot?
Dear Doctor, The top of my left foot is a little swollen and hurts when I walk or touch it. I am limping because of the pain. Please note that I did not injur my foot in anyway. It s been 3 days now. I have used Voltaren, and taken Advil for pain but the pain is still present. Thanks so much.

Hello, Thanks for your query. There could be several causes of such pain. It could be from the bone or ligaments or because of some nerve damage. A physical examination is required to identify the cause of the pain. Further certain investigations like X ray of the foot may be required to arrive at a diagnosis. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care Warm Regards
