What Causes Swelling And Pain On The Feet?

My feet tops and ankles have been incredible swollen for the past four days. Swelling reduces with feet elevated but returns almost immediately when I get back up. Standing is both painful and making me nauseous. Having some trouble breathing but thinking this might be panic. On the day swelling started it was accompanied by severe left calf pain which has since subsided, but felt like someone had taken a muscle biopsy out of the back of my calf.

Hi,

It can be due to sprained ankle. However we have to rule out other conditions which can also present like this.
You can consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated. As of now take analgesics like Tramadol or Diclofenac for pain relief. Apply ice packs and immobilize the affected foot.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
