Hello

Bilateral foot swelling with liver mass indicates possibility of symptoms due to liver disease.
I will advise you further liver function test and PET scan for severity of liver mass.

Pain can be due to excessive swelling.

I will advise you rest and limb elevation with enzymes like Trypsin chymotrypsin to reduce swelling.
You can start them consulting your doctor.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. 

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
