Swollen foot gout

Common Questions and Answers about Swollen foot gout

swollen

Avatar m tn It allows the heart to pump your blood more efficiently. Was it RXed for your foot swelling? The Colchicine is used to treat gout. Two doses would not have been enough to know if it was effective in treating a gout flare. Gout doesn't always act the same in every person...however it's easy to rule this in or out based on Uric Acid levels in your blood. I assume your PCP has done this and that is his rationale behind dismissing Gout.
Avatar m tn Next morning i woke up at 3 am with more pain than i could fathom. Foot was red and very swollen. Excrutiating. Caught taxi to Dr. he said i have gout? blood tests showed normal uric acid level. Treated me for gout anyway. I'm on colgout. It's been 5 days. Still can't walk. Toe joint is still swollen. Can't bend toe up and have minimal motion down. I'm petrified! I love running, hiking etc and being imobile like this is killing me.

Avatar m tn Hi Abhijeet, I did see my Rheumatologist and he stated my symptom and foot are not gout. He suggested nerve damage or a food allergy.

Avatar m tn i have been just diagnoised with nueropathy an in my hands, recently my big toe an further down the foot has become very painful an the toe is swollen is this common or do i possibly have gout?
Avatar f tn Have you been tested for Gout? A build up of uric acid crystals collect in the joints especially of the toe. Very painful, could be swollen also. If you eat a lot of protein the acid will build up. Could be Arthritis or other joint disorder. Have you tried a podiatrist(foot doctor)?
Avatar n tn If your foot is swollen, then that's a sign that something is physically wrong with your foot/ankle somewhere I would think. Being run over and injured when you were little might have something to do with your pain at this time. Maybe something didn't heal correctly, etc.. As far as your foot "shaking" when you hold it, I'm not sure what you mean by that, or what would cause it-unless it's from some sort of muscle weakness?.
Avatar f tn I'm still bed ridden as I post this question... cripple pains in both feet (bruised, swollen ankles) ...I crawl, I roll just to go to bathroom. It began on Jan 19th, excruciating pain on my rt. foot, my left ft., tolerable pain. So I started taking Indocin but stop my maintenance pills--- Colchicine and Allopurinol. Next day, cripple pain is worse now on the left than the right. 3rd day, my doctor prescribed me Prednisone, 4pills for 2 d; 3 pills, etc.
Avatar m tn A week ago, I noticed something strange occur. On that Saturday, I woke up and noticed that the top of my right foot was swollen. I didn't notice anything unusual, no cuts or bruises. Then Sunday, I woke up to find my foot even more swollen and my ankle swelling as well, as well as the ankle turned a bright redish/purple. This occurred while I was sleeping. I went in to see my primary and he couldn't figure it out.
Avatar f tn My dad is type 2 diabetic his foot is swollen and when he went to the doctor he asked him to do some tests so that he would make his mind whether he has got Gout or not ,well those are the tests : BIOCHEMISTRY >>>>> BLOOD UREA 0.26 g/l BLOOD CREATININE 13.74 mg/l PLASMA URIC ACID 96.
Avatar n tn Hi Dr Ghosh My dad just came home today, and he told me that the pain is the same pain he felt while he had a gout attack in September, however, it's not on his right knee anymore. He's feeling the pain on the front area of his foot/big toe and the toe next to it. Is this still gout?
Avatar m tn Almost anyway on the foot, balls of my foot, heal just below the skin, arch of my foot, top of my foot. Another common area is at the very top base of my quadricep. So when I lift my knee it will hurt and be very difficult. This past weekend I got one on the top of my hand. Kinda felt like my point finger tendon that pulls my finger open was a little swollen and hurt to the touch and operate my finger. These are not excruciating, just very annoying.
Avatar m tn I was awoken noticed my left foot was much bigger than my right . My left foot is swollen but i don't remember ever injuring it and it didn't look that way before i went to sleep. Does anyone have any suggestions as to whay could have happened. I have pain and i don't walk good.
Avatar m tn my left ankle and foot been swollen for two weeks now and tried keeping it elevated but it not working.anyone have any ideas what to try.i do have heart stent,diabetes,neuropathy in hands and feet,etc.
2062453 tn?1350332942 //www.niams.nih.gov/Health_Info/Gout/default.asp), gout is caused by high uric acid and high uric acid can be caused by, "an excessively rapid turnover of cells, such as ...... hemolytic anemia". I suspect I have gout resulting from treatment. I'm wondering if other people have experienced this condition and how long it may take to resolve after treatment.
Avatar m tn If you are a diabetic or have a poor immune system it could be neuropathy. Check with a endocrinologist they can run blood work and find out.
162069 tn?1224677411 t bother me too bad until February. I am now 48 and the problem I have now is the fourth toe on my left foot swells to twice the size, is incredibly painful and the swelling doesn't really go down much anymore. I went to the podiatrist the other day for pain in my right ankle ( I had a plate and six screws put in the ankle after breaking it last year) and had him look at my toe...
632093 tn?1230345966 Next day, my foot was swollen more. Could not walk on it. Big toe was targeted for most of the pain. Hospital trip, misdiagnosed with Gout, on crutches. No tests. 2 days later, swollen even more, looks like a cartoon.I also feel some kind of pulling up the back of my calf. My feet feel numb, cold and prickly (asleep). 2nd toe is purple and my foot is dark red and cold. Hospital trip. Vascular tests.
Avatar f tn Do you notice swelling, redness or burning of the right foot or big toe? It is possible that you have gout. I would suggest you see a physician to discuss treatment plans, but until then try to avoid any meat that contains organs such as kidneys or livers. Sometimes excessive consuming of these can cause gout, although there are many other causes as well. I hope things go well for you!
