Really, really bad swollen toes?!
Question: Really, really bad swollen toes!?
OK, so this is a little random, but for the last year or so my toes will often swell up for a few days for no reason!. They get really fat and red and feel hot and are actually really painful especially if I try and bend them and also they feel a bit itchy!? It happens completely randomly, I can't find anything common to the times they swell, I don't wear shoes that are too tight!. Any ideas what it could be!? It lasts 2/3 days, then goes!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There are a number of reasons!. You don't need to drink a lot to get gout!. My dad has gout, and he hardly ever drinks!. It could just be water retention, or if you walk a lot you could just be overly sensitive!. Does it happen around your period!? That would explain a lot!. Try taking ibuprofen, or a diuretic, see if that helps!. If not, you may want to talk to a doctor!. It could be Edema, which can be serious!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ignore all these stupid people!.!.You sound as if you are suffering from poor circulation, and it could be similar to Raynaud's disorder or syndrome, or chilblains!. I would go to the doctor, and get him/her to check you over!. Have a look at this wiki page, and see if it sounds familiar!

i would say to get a professional opinion!. gout can be genetic and maybe you have an allergic reaction to something you dont even realize!. allergy testing may come in handy also!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
