What is going on with my feet, I can barely walk??


Question: is it possible to be bit on the foot and there is no stinger no localized area except for the half dollar sized red spot that develops only after massive swelling and medium pain occur. all this happens within a 2 hour period from when I am allegedly bit by ? and it lasts for ? because it is still happening. I could barely walk yesterday, and today when I do walk, it feels like my feet are full of jello, I can feel the fluid shaking around when i take a step. It started with the rt foot then by the next day was both, and its been 3 days, no sign of getting worse, but no sign in getting better except for walking. 3 weeks ago this happened to my left foot and ankle only, lasted 3 days and was back to normal by day 4. Its freaking me out a little, but I really think I am allergic to something, bugs, vs something medically serious. I have noticed my knees and lower legs feel full , but not swollen like my ankles and feet. example, water balloons with toes, that hurt. Any similar cases?
Answers: This sounds like your feet are just a little bloated. feet can retain water just like the rest of the body, go to the local drug store and get a diuretic. This will help get the excess water out of your body. If the problem persists go to the doctor and get checked, you may be developing a slight case or edema, which is also fluid in the tissues.

The circular marks with swelling and pain are a clue that you're likely being bit by something. Do you have deer ticks where you live? A deer tick bite with Lyme Disease infection causes a red bulls-eye like mark...it may be a more benign insect that you just happen to be allergic to, or maybe spiders.
