Foot Swelling

Asked for Male, 56 years

My father has uric acid and high blood pressure problems. His weight is 70-80kg. His left foot swells badly and now he feels so much pain that even the pain killer does not work. He can't walk easily. Doctors kindly guide me what should he do in this situation? Should he opt for any medicine or should he consult any Diabetic specialist?
