Do you have any idea what could be wrong? My left foot swells up bad after the day is over and mostly turns purple all on my toes but one, and it's about an inch back from the front and an inch all the way on the left side, and feeling in my left three toes it's not as good as it should be. I can't feel them or move them as good. Right foot is not quite as bad but is real hard to walk on my feet.

Thank you for contacting IPFH. We do not diagnose conditions or recommend treatments on line. The description of your condition carries several concerns: 1) the swelling that is taking place; 2) the fact that you are experiencing discoloration, and 3) the fact that you are experiencing loss of sensation. Also, the discomfort you're experiencing is not normal. These symptoms could be indicative of one or more of several conditions for which you should consult a medical professional. We urge you to get in touch at your earliest opportunity with your primary care physician or a foot health professional. He or she can help determine what is going on and recommend appropriate treatment. We hope you will do this and that you will soon be walking normally again.
