Why There Is A Swollen Patch On My Right Foot?
Hi, I have had a sore swollen patch on top of my right foot since last Thursday. I am a fitness instructor and haven t injured it at all it just started hurting after a class last Thursday. I have been to A&E and had an X-ray which showed nothing! I rested iced and elevated for a few days and swelling went down a bit. As soon as I have worked out on it again it has swollen up but now my vein across the top of my foot is huge and the sore patch throbs. Any working out is agony? Any ideas please? Not sure where to go from here. I am currently taking mynocycline for acne but no other medication

Hello,
As I feel there will be ligament sprain which cannot be seen in the X-ray and needs an MRI intervention.
You need to use ankle brace and do some balance board rehabilitation for the stability of the ankle joint and also muscles supporting the ankle.
Since you are a fitness instructor you need to be very careful as it may not be good for you to get injured.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
