swollon left foot
Hi,About 6 years ago, I hurt my left foot. I saw a doctor - no bones were broken - just a bad sprain.
Now, every time the temperature goes above 50 degrees, my entire foot swells. The ankle swells, but only slightly. It is primarily the top of my foot - the portion that would be left open when in heels. It is worse at the end of a day if I am on my feet - but it still swells even if I am not on my feet, or not in heels. It swells all season long - Spring and Summer and part of Autumn. I have been to 2 foot specialists - and they have told me there is nothing short of an ace bandage that will help me.
I am in excellent shape - I am very athletic - running does not affect the level of swelling.
Other than elevation and a low sodium diet - is there anything you suggest to reduce the swelling?
I always have an annual physical and other than the old injury - there appears to be no reason for this swelling.
Thank you.

Dear rbieniewicz:
In cases as yours, I ever recommend to take INFLAZYM. This medication is natural and is composed by digestive enzimes that fight against the inflammation, reducing the acids that produce by chemic reaction. If you can get, post and I write the dosis for you.
If you can't get by the net, or in your country, you can use too ARNICA 30C, three pellets under tongue once in awakening time; CHELIDONIUM 6x, three pellets under tongue once in going bed time.
Repeat during a week and report.
Best regards
Andrés

Very dear and ever respected Dr. Mahfooz:
I'm as surprised as you with this symptom in Chelidonium.
I looked in my Materia Media and I found Chelidonium in 'edema' in relation to feet, heel and ankle. If you need more information, I can send to you the homeopathic chart with the repertorization of these symptoms.
You can ask to me all you like, but I'm sure that I'll have nothing to teach you ;))
Warmest regards
Andrés
