[|Human|] What does it mean if the top of my left foot is swollen and red? I do not remember hurting it or twisting my ankle, nor did I fall down. I gradually started feeling discomfort while doing daily tasks like laundry, etc., then increasing into pain before I finally sat down and used an ice pack. I have had 2 aortic valve replacements so far, 1993 and 2006. Might this pain be a warning? Please respond. Thank you for your time and patience. Namaste. katie 55yr old 5 2 , 158 lbs, bp 116/66 p 60.
[|AI|]  Redness and swelling on feet without trauma may be mainly due to hematological or infectious disorders. You can try with an ice bag: if pain worsens, consider suffering from gout. If pain goes better, there is an inflammation, that may be caused by lots of conditions. If you have fever, you likely have a cellulitis (infection). I suggest to you to take a X-ray and do blood tests (uric acid, CRP, ESR, blood count, white cells count) to understand as soon as possible the underlying cause. NSAIDs will help you with pain
