11. More salt in your diet that previously, and not enough water intake.

Speaking of which, did you fill up more water bottles?

Seriously, you need to see a doctor! Worst case could lead to no more foot.

Every time I've known a man with foot swellings it's been gout.

Sudden numbness + foot swelling = blood clot, to me. But I am not a doctor and have not had any medical classes for several years now. However, I second the call to go to a doctor.

Go see a doctor!

If you have no medical insurance, there's gotta be a clinic SOMEWHERE for folks with no money. Even in that area.

Disclaimer: all I know about medicine I learned from Dr. House.

It's never Lupus.

Also, go see a real doctor. It might be nothing. It might be dangerous. Go see a doctor.
