There is nothing like a first-person account. I hope you feel better.
Sideways can mean several things: not straigth ahead (pointed inward or outward) or, more likely, you were putting your weight on the inside or outside of your foot (placing your foot on edge).

A standard doctor's advice: take one aspirin and call me in the morning. Otherwise, an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
geopiet Dec 29, 2016:
re: Too much speculation not at all ..

I happened to have swollen feet once or twice ... i couldn't put my feet firmly on the ground, only sideways ...

---

we may consider generic statement, like : patients may complain of problems with walking ....
geopiet Dec 29, 2016:
skoro „chodzi krzywo” then "walking crooked" should suffice ... :)

I am walking all bent up/bent over.

It all depends on which direction is involved.

agree Marcin Pustkowski : Frank, jak widzisz ja się uczę od Ciebie. Miał racje mike, że to jedna z największych zalet tego forum. A czy w poziomie czy w pionie, to już sam Asker musi zdecydować.

Dziękuję Marcinie. To nie jest naukowe określenie. Dojdziemy do odpowiedzi metodą dialektyczną.
neutral LilianNekipelov : Not in this context. He is complaining about his feet, after all.

I am not sure what is involved. If one foot is hurting, he may be not be putting his weight on that side, giving him a bent appearance. If not that, then he is not walking in a straight line.

Gait abnormalities


Considerations
The pattern of how a person walks is called the gait. Different types of walking problems occur without a person's control. Most, but not all, are due to a physical condition.

Some walking abnormalities have been given names:

Propulsive gait -- a stooped, stiff posture with the head and neck bent forward
Scissors gait -- legs flexed slightly at the hips and knees like crouching, with the knees and thighs hitting or crossing in a scissors-like movement
Spastic gait -- a stiff, foot-dragging walk caused by a long muscle contraction on one side
Steppage gait -- foot drop where the foot hangs with the toes pointing down, causing the toes to scrape the ground while walking, requiring someone to lift the leg higher than normal when walking
Waddling gait -- a duck-like walk that may appear in childhood or later in life

thank you for your comment, dr. Lillian :)
agree Marcin Pustkowski : A ja myślę, że możesz mieć rację. Wszystko zależy od tego, jak to sobie dopasuje Pytający, który ma szerszy kontekst niż my.
