Interesting all of these varied diagnosis from people without a medical degree.

Hope OP has already seen a physician and is taking care of her problem.

Villages Hospital is a UFHealth hospital, same as Shands.

The Tampa Tarpons is a NY Yankee team. That doesn't mean they have Aaron Judge in right field. Same umbrella organization. Different level of facility and quality.

I am going to see a doctor soon -but am wondering if anyone else has ever had this unusual problem. My feet are swollen--and I can hardly come to a standing position from having been seated for awhile. The pain is almost unbearable--. especially in the mornings. I live alone and do everything myself. But it's getting so hard to go out and do errands. I'm about ready to start using a shopping cart that you can sit in. (Ready physically, not mentally) My doctor had concluded that I have arthritis--based on aches and pains I've had in the past year--particularly my hands--and because everything else of a similar and serious nature has been ruled out.
So my question is, have any of you ever had such pain in their feet that they can hardly walk -- and if so, what was the cause of it--and how was it treated? I would so appreciate hearing from you!

I'm so sorry to hear your situation. Call your dr. immediately and demand an appointment!! Be forceful..don't be shy. As a cancer survivor, I speak from experience. It's your life you're fighting for. Be "the squeaky wheel". I wish you the very best. Sorry you're alone and dealing with this.

Swelling feet may indicate a heart problem, or a kidney problem, or a lymphatic problem, or a rheumatological problem, or a trauma problem, or a vascular problem, or a..... problem. But certainly you do not go see a lung doctor if the problem is your heart. I might see a heart doctor for my heart, but that's just me. Or a lung doctor for my lungs.. Please OP ignore the advice you get on this forum, including mine.

Swelling in your feet and ankle can be a circulatory issue. Has your doctor ruled out cardiac problems? Don’t wait. See your doctor as soon as possible

Thank you, RJM! I'd considered that myself

Thank you, Donna. Doctor suggested I stop taking Celebrex which was prescribed for arthritis. So that's what I'm doing and will see what happens.

[Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is an inflammatory disorder that causes widespread aching, stiffness and flu-like symptoms. It is more common in women than men and is seen more often in Caucasians than other races. It typically develops by age 70 and is rarely seen in people younger than 50. I got it several weeks ago. Dr put me on prednisone. Condition improved daily. Almost back to normal.

Does anybody else post comments & don’t see them next time they look?

Really????? What if the person has Wucheriasis?

You are not the only one!!!!

We lived in Boca Raton before we moved to TV, I used to go to gym everyday. I was very healthy woman. Few month later I start suffering from allergies and rashes; then pain in my whole body. I went to three different doctors trying to find the reason.
I actually am under prednisone for more than three month because I have joint inflammation.
To make the story short, we moved three times in TV because one doctor told me that I wasn’t the only patient that he had with this condition and that he is thinking that between the horrible non stop construction activities and the dust, the humidity in the soil and more; I would be able to be in good health. So, we moved again to an other area but guess what!!!. They are going to continue building here.
This coming Friday I have an other appointment to see how the level of the inflammation is.
Three years sick and looking forward to finishing with this nightmare. I wish you the best.

Thread closed.

Thanks to all for their sincere suggestions, but that's enough guesswork for now. If the OP would like to provide an update after consulting her physician, she's welcome to start a new thread.
