Root cause of swollen right foot
My right foot, ankle and lower shin has been swollen for 1 month. This happened in 2011 and 2021 also.
At that time, it suddenly went away after a few months. The right toe nail was growing outwards in 2021. I sliced the side of the nail so that it would stop pressing on and hurting the flesh.
But this time, in 2024, I think the right toe nail had been growing downwards. So I sliced it little by little over the last days. I don't have any pain on the toe nail when I press in all 3 directions x-y-z. And it is not swollen. But my right foot is still swollen. It pains when I stand and walk. I am miserable. Please tell me what could be the root cause? Should I go to the dermatologist to remove that toe nail? Even though it no longer hurts?
