Hi @bxgunna, welcome to Connect. Sorry to hear you are struggling with the swelling in your left foot. You mentioned you have seen an orthopedic doctor who told you that you have neuropathy and there was nothing he could do. I also have swelling in my legs and feet but it's mostly my right foot/ankle and calf. I wear compression socks that help control the swelling in the legs during the day. You might want to seek a second help or a second opinion. Mayo Clinic has more information on lymphedema here - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/lymphedema/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20374687. I was diagnosed after a vascular medicine doctor examined my legs when checking for another health issue.
Have you considered seeking help at a teaching hospital or major health facility like Mayo Clinic?
