<s>[INST] I have been experiencing burning and numbness sensations kn the front half of my feet. Now they are swelling on top of the feet, on ip to my ankles. I have had a vascular test as well as a nerve conducting test. I was told I have a mild case of peripheral neuropathy. The swelling has begun since the diagnosis, causing me to question the diagnosis. Can you help me with your insights? [/INST] Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have numbness and swelling on feet and ankles. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like peripheral neuropathy, hypertension, vitamin B12 deficiency, kidney disease or venous insufficiency. There can be other problems also like compressed nerve or injury. Keep your legs in hot water tub with Epsom salt for 15 minutes daily, lower your salt consumption and keep your legs elevated while lying down. I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination. Doctor may order CT scan or x-ray along with blood test and nerve conduction test. Doctor may also refer you to cardiologist for cardiac problem or nephrologist for kidney problem Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, </s>
