For those of you who care, I went back to the Doctor today. They took my blood pressure and it was virtually normal: 122/88. My heart rate was also normal. They sat me down in an examination room where I removed my sock off my left foot to reveal the redness and swelling quite evident thereon. Dr. Hitson's nurse was a little shocked.
Finally, David came in and looked at my foot. He had me remove my other sock to provide contrast with the swollen foot. He squeezed my foot at various points on the foot. He prescribed several medicines in addition to the others previously prescribed. Now I will be eating about a ton of medicine in the morning and evening every day for several more days.
After the examination, he decided I may have something like gout or a similar condition. The medicine should help with it.
I actually feel pretty good. Parts of the foot are tender and the foot does swell considerably when I walk on it for anything length of time. It seems to be better in the morning after a good night's sleep.
I will be glad when this is all over.
