Swollen Feet

[Cam812]

I am at work at the moment and all of a sudden my foot started stinging. After about 30 seconds the stinging was quite dull but i looked down at my foot and it was huge!!! i elevated it but it just got bigger. I'm on 50mg Imuran and 25mg Prednisolone daily. Wondering if either of these could be contributing but swollen feet and lower legs is supposed to be a rare side effect of Imuran but I've had swollen feet and legs since I started taking it...but this is the first time its hurt and gone up so quickly in such an isolated area. PLEASE HELP!!

I've had similar issues recently and think of it as edema.  I took turmeric and some other OTC anti-inflammatories.  However, what really helped was low dose naltrexone.  I have CFS/ME so there was a rationale to try it anyway.  My ankles and feet are actually more healthy looking than I ever remember.

When my protein levels get down my ankles swell and hurt after standing an hour or so at work. The doctor says a low albumin count can cause the tissue to not function properly. I solved the problem by buying compression socks and elivating my feet during breaks. After work I would ice my ankles and my fiancé would literally pull the fluid up my legs, releaving the painful swelling. As my protein levels grew, the problem gradually went away.

Growing up with Crohn's disease, on several occasions did one of my feet swell suddenly.  I was taking prednisone at the time- so I don't know if that is what caused it or if it was actually a Crohn's thing... as odd as that sounds. But, nonetheless, this is something that happened from time to time. It always went away within 24hrs.
