Ok, I have to say that my feet are getting really bad, it feels like the bones in the top my my feet (at times) are breaking? Anyone else have these pains? I knew that when the pain in my feet started it would be bad, but this is horrible. I can't walk on that foot when the pain hits, I have to stand where I am until it goes away then I can walk. It comes and goes and the first time it happened I thought I just sat my foot down wrong, news it's anywhere from once to three times a week and its one foot or the other. My left foot is the worse. I also have burning pain in my ankles and some feelings like pins and needles. Is this the RA or could it be something else? I have osteo and 4 herniated discs in my back, maybe that is what's causing some of the pain in my feet.
Hope someone can understand this because I'm not sure what to think.
My next rhuemy appointment is in June.
Thanks for listening!

Hi Glea, Have you called to rheumy doctor about this problem. I
would not wait until June. Your doctor may want to see you sooner.

Tedybearweiser,
I talk to my rheumy he had me take a few X-rays and gave me some new pain meds. Thanks for the advice.
I also fell in my chicken pin yesterday and he took X-rays of my shoulder. I think my husband had fun over that one. He asked if I was ok and when he saw that I could get up and walk he started laughing it seem to help me to laugh too, but I am feeling it today thank The Lord for pain killers! Lol

Hi Glea,

I struggle with my feet all the time. It doesn't help that I teach and am on them fo 6 hours straight at times.

I am told it is a mixture of inflammed tendon sheaths and nerve pain. My muscles have spasmed to try and control the pain from my feet so my calves hurt me too. I went to a podiatrist and got orthotics made and that has helped me the most. I still get pain and live on pain killers but I do manage with them now.

At the end of the day I have to ice them or heat them and put them up, I just have to factor that into my days.

My archilles tendon just started to add to my troubles this year, so my orthotics have now been altered to include the new problem.

I hope that your feet settle for you, I feel quite crippled at times with mine. So I can sympathise with your pain.

Hi Glea, My feet and hands have always hurt the worst. I have been on Enbrel for the last 7 years and while it was a miracle drug for me at first it recently stopped working completely and Im flared up BAD. Bad enough Im starting to worry about my job and how I am going to be able to cope with it. I hope your feet give you a break. I like to ice mine at the end of the day I don't know why but ice really helps. I too thank God for painkillers but I thank him more for the health I do have and knowing no matter what he'll take care of me and my family.

My Rheumy was in a car accident over the weekend and now my appt has been pushed out as well to June. It's Ibuprofen and painkillers to the rescue! :)

I always say I sound like breakfast ceral because my feet snap, crackle and pop, especially in the morning. My feet/ankles and my shoulders are my worst joints. I feel your pain!
