Swelling of feet
The patient complains of swelling of ankle, feet and knee joints along with burning sensation in the ankle joint since 2 months. The swelling is spontaneous and occurs while sitting or walking too. There is parasthesia of the leg below the knee at night sometimes. From sole of the feet to the back of the knee, sometimes there's sprain. So my concern is which specialist to refer?
