What is this? Should I be concerned my feet are swelling it hurts when I walk. I noticed it before a fitness class and there it got much worse.

Usually swollen feet are a sign of blood pressure problems. Try and sleep with your feet elevated and SEE your doctor

Makes sense but why all the red dots? The swollen feeling has spread to my right hand now.

Could be anything from poison ivy to an allergic reaction to something rare and vascular (but which probably wouldn't itch). Take some Benadryl, put some cortisone cream or spray on the rash, and call a doctor. Your hand might have caught poison ivy from your leg.

The swollening and spots can also be an allergic reaction to something you've eaten or touched. The swollen feet can also be caused by the body retaining too much water, a diauretic usually helps. Above all if it doesen't stop or clear up soon go see your doctor.

Thank you for the responses. I hobbled into a store at 3AM to get Bendryll and have taken it to see if I feel better. The swelling in my feet obviously got worse. I have a few more hours until I can go to the doctor I am hoping the Benedryll will help if it doesn't I hope I can still use my feet enough to drive to the doctor.

I went to the ER today they have determined it is most likely henoch-schonlein purpora.

Thanks for coming back to tell us. Although most cases resolve without treatment (some doctors will give steroids, some won't), I hope they told you to be followed by your regular doctor.

Yes they gave me a prescription for steroids and I have to go back every two weeks for a month and a half to do a blood test to ensure that my kidneys are okay.
