my feet hurt and are swollen whats going on ?

[wonderingwendy]

cant get in today to the see the doctor ,im really worried - the left foot has been painfull along the top for about a week and today ive noticed that they are both swelling up ,they both ache but im mostly sitting down as i hand sew decorations for a living so its not that im on my feet alot
any ideas what it could be?

Have you been unusually hot recently- or had any long journeys? Mine swell up alarming on holiday, a combination of travel and heat. After I couldn't put shoes on holiday earlier this year they were so fat, I've been looking after my feet by wearing fitflops and keeping as active as possible.

Do see your GP and in the mean time elevate them when you can.

no none of those things

Well then, chase up the GP appointment and keep your legs elevated as much as possible, rotating your ankles occasionally.

Good Luck!

Any improvement ww? Have you got a GP apointment yet?

seen the gp he was very good checked everything temp,blood pressure,my chest,my legs and feet checking for a pulse ,he said he was probably due to sitting down most of the time,its still sore but he said i should take a break every hour and walk around and to keep my feet elevated when possible.
