I don’t think it wise to leave a swollen foot without seeking medical advice.Thanks for the reply.
Hard to get a GP appointment I’ve rang 65 times from 8am
I don’t think it wise to leave a swollen foot without seeking medical advice.
With my own experience of similar, I was referred immediately to have a doppler ultrasound scan to check for blood clotting in leg. Thankfully it was negative, but I was told if it had been positive, it could be quite dangerous.
If you are UK based, and not able to get a GP appointment, please check with NHS111, today.
Do let us know how you get on, @Rleady1357
Members have to be careful not to diagnose, but the Doppler ultrasound I had was very reassuring, and it only takes a few minutes.Hi thanks for you reply
I managed to get through via 111 and had to email over a few pictures of my swollen foot, awaiting a phone call back now.
She says that it’s very unusual to not have any other symptoms and doesn’t think it will need an X ray.

I was sent to a clinic that had the ultrasound scanner, and the test was done immediately, and I was told the result. All within less than half an hour.
I would add this was pre-pandemic, though.
Hope you have some resolution, now, @Rleady1357I will let you know what happens when they decide to call me back

In your shoes, I’d call them again. Shifts will have changed by now, and I’d wager, your call has slipped between the cracks.Still nothing! Will be waiting all day for a call no doubt
