What should we do to help my mother?who has rheumatoid arthritis, high blood pressure, thyroid issues, and recent heart problems?now that her left foot is severely swollen, painful, and feverish to the point that she cannot walk, and her current medications, Sazo 500 and Ecosprin AV, are not providing any relief?
I am so sorry to hear your mother is in such pain. A severely swollen, warm, and painful foot that prevents walking requires urgent medical evaluation, especially with her heart history and rheumatoid arthritis. This could represent an infection, a gout flare, or a circulation issue. Please do not alter her current doses of Sazo 500 (sulfasalazine) or Ecosprin AV (aspirin/atorvastatin) without medical supervision. I highly recommend having a doctor evaluate her today to find the exact cause and safely relieve her pain. For now, keep her foot elevated and resting comfortably.
