Swelling under right foot Ankle

[karen.hankey]

Can you clarify where the swelling actually is. Is it under your heel or around your ankle? Was there any injury or change in circumstances that caused this problem?

If you can expand a bit we may be able to assist better.

Swelling is just under my right ankle (outside). Most of the pictures I have seen show that this looks to be area peroneal tendon area. I have redness and swelling. My doctor gave a corticosteroid injection on the inflamed area. I had no injury. The only think I can think is that I was painting my basement for long hours barefoot on hard wood floor. Also I have flat foot. I have anti inflammation medication for almost a month. Will start physio. in couple of days. Not sure what can I do. My Dr. is not really able to figure out the exact cause.
