Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] My foot fell asleep while I was sitting down and when I tried to stand up I could not stand upright and walk, so I ended up falling in an awkward way. Less than 5 minutes a rather large lump had grown on the top right side of my right foot, just below my ankle. How should I treat this throbbing aching pain and reduce the heated swelling?
[|AI|]  Hi, As per your history it appears that by saying sitting, you mean crossing legs and sitting. It is very common to have this after we age a bit, and the cause for it is stoppage of neoplasm flow in the nerves because of compression. This is not a disease but a common occurrence only that occurs with advancing age and with weight gain. Swelling is caused by stoppage of venous outflow while the arterial flow continues.the only remedy is to stop sitting by crossing your legs. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
