The tingling sensation is caused by the sudden rush of blood reaching a part which was pressed under something. If a part of your body is pressed under something too long, it will make a difficulty in for blood to reach that particular body part. When you remove your body part from getting pressed, there is a sudden rush as the blood flows into that body part. This causes the tingling sensation. I hop you have learnt something from this answer! :)
Swelling means that there is excess fluid in the area and tingling means that the local nerve endings are being affected. Being only on one side is significant - both sides usually ensures it is something going on with the whole body (systemic) versus more locally to the area.
This could be a number of things, but at the top of the list I'd consider:
Infection - feet are notorious for not healing well from cuts, etc. Hard to say for sure without seeing said foot, but that ascending swelling could be a bad sign of infection.
Toxin - spider bite gone bad - a possibility. Black widow bite can cause this. Brown recluse will usually cause more of an ulcerating wound. Snake bite toxin - usually obvious when person comes in saying "I've been bit by a snake!"
Trauma - broken bone, sprained ankle, etc that could be moving into a condition called "compartment syndrome." A good history, physical exam and an X ray (if warranted) would help figure this out.
Deep Vein thrombosis - this would be a particularly bad one if was causing the whole foot to swell. Again, history & physical exam would help to decide if needing to do an ultrasound to rule this out.
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome - if there was a history of trauma (broken ankle, etc), sometimes the nerves can be affected long term and can cause intermittent swelling and pain and tingling. Again, history and PE needed to consider this.
I'd consider this list first, then go on to less likely scenarios second.
That said, if YOU are experiencing this, PLEASE go IMMEDIATELY to a doctor to be checked out!
Pins and needles
Symptoms, at first, can include tingling, numbness and loss of sensation in the foot. Also, you may see cracks in the skin or wounds that are slow to heal.
sounds like circulation to me do you smoke of drink alot of alcohol this can cause tingling sensations in the toes and foot
There is no telling. It could be from any number of causes. The nerves for your right middle finger and the middle of your right foot are close together in your spinal column and your brain. A problem affecting your foot or hand could affect the other or it could come from your brain. See if your shoe is too tight.
Symptoms to tarsal tunnel include a vague pain in the sole of the foot, numbness, tingling, burning or a sensation that may be similar to an electrical shock.
did you cut it or hit a vein or major nerve in your foot?
Infection is the most likely cause.
Sounds like peripheral neuropathy
When you experience paresthesia, it is typically a sensation of tingling, numbness, or prickling in the extremities such as the hands, feet, arms, or legs. This sensation occurs when there is pressure on nerves, leading to altered nerve function and the feeling of "falling asleep."
Poor circulation. When blood is cut off to the hands, arms, or feet, they can go numb, which causes the tingling or feeling of dead weight.
You might have a pinched nerve, or something worse. I suggest going to the doctor.
The main symptoms of the condition of Trench Foot is having a itching, heavy feeling and in some cases a prickly foot. Trench foot may cause pain, tingling, swelling, blotching and red and warm foot.
