Why do I have swollen feet with knee pain?

Question

Hi doctor,

My feet get swollen, and I sometimes get knee pain, especially from the left knee. I thought it was liver-related, but my results came back negative. My poop is yellow and in small balls, not sausage. What could it be?

Kindly help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concerns.

Swollen feet could be due to many causes, including heart failure, kidney problems, allergies, and low blood protein.

The other possible causes include the following:

1. Infection.

2. Joint problems.

3. DVT (deep vein thrombosis).

Please provide me with more details to reach the appropriate diagnosis:

1. Do you have hypertension or diabetes?

2. Any redness in the feet?

3. Are both feet affected equally?

Please send me some photos of your swollen feet, and then I will suggest some lab work to identify the cause.

I wish you all well-being. Your feedback will be appreciated.

For further advice, I would be pleased to receive your follow-up.

Thank you.
