Sounds like neuropathy or peripheral nerve entrapment. Best to find someone to evaluate you feet and nerves.
You probably have senile, vascular or diabetic neuropathy.
Seek a professional opinion for the diagnosis and a treatment plan
I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for evaluation, diagnosis and treatment options
The likely cause of your feet 'feeling' swollen is Neuropathy. Neuropathy is a nerve condition that simply means the conduction of your nerves has changed. This can occur from Diabetes, prescription and non-prescription medications, viruses, surgery, trauma, Low Back/Spine issues (bulging discs, pinched nerves), alcoholism, vitamin deficiencies and a variety of other conditions. You should have your primary physician or Podiatrist refer you for nerve conduction studies (performed by a neurologist).
Hello, Do you have any history of Diabetes? Have you had any blood work done recently? I would recommend to go see a podiatrist. Have foot xrays done and have blood work done. Dr. Skandeva
