You know, my left foot... which has this surgical left over trauma from years ago... turns red, swells and gives me grief now and then. My right foot does not.
When this left foot does this thing, it is worse when I am taking my Cardizem (a calcium channel blocker)..so I stop it for a while.
The really only thing that helps is the magnesium lotion. When I am on vacation (no stairs there), I don't have problems at all.
At home? This is the 3rd attack since vacation, last night. The mag lotion took it down for today. It is quite puzzling... and just an example of how complex things can be. Doctors look blank and shake their heads about this...so I am not motivated to do anything major about it. Just put that magnesium lotion on it when it flares. Otherwise it seems normal... DUH?
