I'm experiencing pain in the joints of my foot. What should I do? The pain is severe.

Rest, ice, and over-the-counter painkillers can temporarily reduce acute foot joint pain, but this is not a long-term cure. It may be an injury, gout, or arthritis, so you should consult an orthopedic physician right once to determine the reason and receive the appropriate care.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing severe joint pain in your foot. Severe joint pain can have various causes, and it’s important to get a proper evaluation to determine the underlying issue and appropriate treatment.

  • You should see an orthopedic specialist or a rheumatologist promptly to assess the cause of your foot joint pain.
  • Avoid putting excessive weight or strain on the affected foot until you have a diagnosis.
  • Over-the-counter pain relief like acetaminophen or NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) may help temporarily, but only use them as directed and after consulting a doctor.
  • If the pain is accompanied by swelling, redness, warmth, fever, or inability to move the foot, seek emergency care immediately by calling Apollo Emergency at 1066.
  • Based on your symptoms, a doctor might consider conditions like osteoarthritis, gout, infection, or injury and may recommend imaging or blood tests.

If you want, I can explain more about possible causes or treatments for joint pain. Please consult a specialist doctor soon for a thorough evaluation and personalized care.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please tell me your age and gender.
