Feet swelling?

I'm sure right now your getting tired of me.  But I'm going through tough times.  I have cerebral palsy, over weight and was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia.

Now my right foot has swollen across the top, and then it goes down, never hurts, all of the blood work was normal on three different occassions since late November.

What is wrong with me??

Help!

I went to a wedding on April 26th I bought some brand new sandals for it and they fit just fine.  After the wedding both of my feet wore swollen.  I have never had a problem with swollen feet before so I thought the best thing to do was to stay off of them for awhile.  So the next day my right foot went down, but the left foot stayed swollen. During this whole time I had no problems with My foot hurting it was just swollen.  Then on Memorial Weekend I went to Houston and now both of my feet are swollen again and this time my left one does hurt.  I have an appointment on friday to have them looked at.  I am overweight but I don't know if that has anything to do with why they are swollen.  Please advise

Thank you

Doesn't seem to be a primary neurologic problem. Could be a blood clot in your leg, infection, trauma-related or retention of water due to meds, increased salt take intake, etc.. Talk to your primary care doc about this. Good luck.
