Your right foot is swollen and is a little red on top it hurts from your ankle down hard to walk?
Sounds like Gout. Go to www.google.com and search for Gout Symptoms to see if that might be the reason. You can also search for Gout Diet. That will tell you what to eat and give you a list of foods to avoid. You'll be able to tell whether you've, recently, eaten any of the bad foods. Your doctor can give you a prescription to make your problem go away in a day or two. Without pills, the gout attack can last a week or longer. My doctor told me to take Advil for the pain and it really works better than aspirin. A good home-remedy is for you to eat Cherries. These can be fresh, canned or Marishino Cherries. You need to eat (at least) five or six every day while you are having the gout attack. Keep your foot warm. Don't use an ice pack, that only makes it worse. Try not to walk, too much. I hope your foot is better, soon.
