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...Health Question & Answer
Answers:
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.Health Question & Answer

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.Health Question & Answer
Chilblains, I get them all the time. Cold toes, then red hot and swollen then itchy. Try always to keep your feet warm then they won't start.
