HI

Thanks for posting your query.

Swelling of foot could be due to either low proteins levels in blood , kidney problems or heart problems .

I advise you get evaluated for these by consulting a Physician . He will ask for blood tests like Serum Albumin, Serum creatinine and a cardiac scan .

Once we know the cause of your problem treatment is not a problem . But as a general treatment ask your doctor for a prescription of diuretics. This medicine will bring down your swelling.

Your numbness of foot is due to nerve damage. I advise you to get Nerve conduction study test of your left foot which shall confirm my diagnosis and also tell the severity.

Regards
