I do not have RA, I have a different Autoimmune issue, but sometimes I wear slippers with an "walk to the mailbox" bottom. They look like ballet flats, but they are very soft and stretchy. I got mine at Walmart, but they sell them in a lot of places. I wear pants or long skirts when I wear them in public, so , at least in my imagination, they look pretty normal.

Anyone with any shoe suggestions will be greatly appreciated as I’m running out of ideas.

Thank you so much. I have come on here because I have been to every prescription shoe store and website. I have a podiatrist. He has been unable to help me also. I’ve ask every dr. I have. I’ve even thought of Uggs. But there’s no support in them.
Keep giving me suggestions. Please.

What medication are you on to treat your RA? This forum is very, very slow, this is why I am replying to you. If you ever get Covid, you can ask your dr for the medication Paxlovid, but you must start it within 5 days of a positive test. We have members in other forums that are on immunosuppressants & symptoms vary per each individual.

Have you been to Tops for Shoes?

Have you shopped in person? Or tried to do this all mail order?

Does anyone with RA have tooth ache? I’ve already seen my dentist and my oral surgeon but they found nothing wrong. I’ve taken every thing to stop it: steroid, anti-inflammatory, pain meds and Tylenol. Nothing is stopping my tooth from hurting. I’m getting desperate. Ruth

I appreciate all suggestions. But I’ve tried them all. I get around without any help. I right now wear NB. But they’re so old and wearing out. That’s when the shoe search started.
Thanks. Ruth

Ruth:

If you go to a podiatrist, they can point you in the right direction. My podiatrist actually sells/has specialty shoes in their office.

I need a 10w to accommodate my twisted big toe. They don’t come in that size. 😩

Are there any RA people out there that have had a heart attack?
I have had one and now can’t find an RA treatment safe for me.
I’d appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you. Ruth Mounts

I am not responding well to any RA treatment. I’m being told there’s no more options. Has anyone eles been told this? And what did you do? I’m living on steroids. And pain pills.
Any suggestions would be so greatly appreciated.
Ruth

To Susie: I have. Was hoping more for encouragement then anything eles. Surely there’s others with this same situation.
