Foot swollen

Thought I got stung by something on beach but it looks like no jellyfisg type thing. Left foot is just swollen

Hurts to walk on

tcoach1, That is the symptom that finally made me go see a doctor last year. Swollen, painful foot with no history of any sort of injury. Stupidly, I waited 4 months before going to the doctor believing I must have injured it. The pain moved around my foot and ankle every couple of weeks. It was just my right foot until a few months ago. Now it is primarily the left and the right is much better.

Primary care doc had no idea what the problem was. He sent me to a podiatrist who told me I needed orthotics. Boy, was that a huge mistake. After 15 minutes wearing orthotics the foot pain became excrutiating to the point of not being able to walk at all for a week or so. Podiatrist sent me to a neurologist who did nerve and muscle conduction tests. All tests were normal. And on it went ... one doctor continued to send me to another with all associated testing coming back normal.

I'm not certain, but think I understand from the llmd that the foot pain is usually from Bartonella for which I tested positive. Anyhow, here it is 11 months later and the foot pain persists though usually not with the intensity of a number of months ago.

My next appt with llmd is early August. Hope to learn more about what to do with feet then.

Sorry for your discomfort.

Can you tell what kind of pain you are having - nerve, bone,muscles? And your foot isn't swollen but it hurts to walk on it? If it's not swollen, it could easily be from Bartonella, but if it's swollen, then it may be from some other issue.

I'm using herbs (Buhner protocol), rife treatment (kind of bioresonance) and essential oils and I'm still herxing pretty badly. I have to carefully plan everything: dosing, detoxing because if I overdo the treatment I will end up having huge brain fog, fatigue or anxiety. I'm constantly on NSAID drugs because without it after few days the pain in foot and in knee would be so big that I will not be able to walk. With NSAIDs it's bearable but sometimes in the morning I still have problemd with walking because of the pain. Doctors diagnosed me with reactive joint inflammation but it's kind of bs diagnose which doesn't explain anything, it's like saying oh yes, we clearly see your joints are inflamed like hell but we don't know why your body is doing it to you, we can only give you bunch of toxic drugs and maybe some day you will recover

Foot is actually swollen. When I push on skin it doesn't dent.

Interesting and thanks. Too bad and really strange that it is worse with treatment.
