Hello. I noticed that on the inner part of my foot right between the arch and the heel, but not quite on the bottom it's more on the side of the foot. A round puffy circle and it kind of hurts and possible inflammation fluid I'm not sure what it is does anyone have any ideas? I'll be talking to my dr next week. If anyone has and issues with their feet hear your story. Thanks

Don't get me started on my feet. You'll never hear the end of it and it's not because they are big.

My ankles swell up so huge that my socks dig into them. The big toe joints are tender to the touch. Some days I can't wear shoes. My left heel will be so tender I can't stand any weight on it. I have to ride in a shopping scooter if the store is big.

However, I persevere. I pace my activities so I'm not always sitting with my feet up. Epsom salt soaks, lavender lotion, and knowing when a bad weather day is coming.

Wow joy ..... I soaked in in in Epsom salt and my foot hurt me more after it was strange. I'm sure flaring up tonight I hate not having a true diagnosis. My Drs keeps changing their mind about what's going on with me :(

As long as your treatment is working don't worry about a diagnosis.

Like the line in Romeo and Juliette, "a rose by any other name will still smell as sweet".

A name will not change how it feels.

**I do gentle foot stretching to help with mobility. Forgot to add that.

My feet are a problem area as well. Bunions blew up and are often red- RD says that's osteo...IDK they blew up during a flare. The joints are tender and when I'm walking I get pain in the arch. I have always loved wearing high heels but now I have to carry flip flops with me to work because my feet swell and hurt and I have to switch. Even my flip flops leave indentation marks from the swell...
I'm treating myself to a pedicure this morning. It will be good to have a foot massage...as long as I don't get an aggressive technician that will make my bones feel like they are being crushed

Does a ice pack help you? Maybe try that. Also it might be time to consult a foot doctor for further help.

Oh my yes I have problems with my feet. When I was a lot younger, I would get plantar fascitis. I haven't work anything except clog type shoes in years. I have to wear comfortable.
With the ?RA and Sjogrens, the balls of my feet hurt and toe joints. I wear some gel inserts in my clogs to help. I am glad I am not on my feet a lot.

The feet have so many bones and joints....no wonder we suffer

I fractured my foot in March and also have an inflamed tendon in it. So painful.
