Hi all, i walked to my daughter's school with my husband on Tuesday. My husband was striding out and i was trying to keep up with him. The day after when i got out of bed it felt like my foot was splitting. It is still painful and not swollen. Even if i put my hand around my foot and apply pressure it is very tender. I had this at the very beginning of diagnosis and i had some inserts made with the podiatrist. I think i will have to get an appontment to get some new ones made. I hadn't worn them over the summer as they dont fit into sandals.
I'm sure it's not a flare as it happened after my walking a bit too quickly. I will keep you posted. Not looking forward to going to work tomorrow as i'm on my feet a lot

Hi Dawn and Karen

I too have problems with my feet and had insoles made by the Podiatrist. I wear sandals most of the time, even in winter because shoes are not comfortable. Initially my insoles were black but I asked Podiatrist if he could make some less conspicuous for sandals and he covered them with a beige 'covering', don't know what it is, and I stick them on to my sandals with double sided velcro (B & Q) and they are great. Yes, they are visible at the back but unless I point them out to people they don't notice

Hello Dawn

Totally understand what you going through with your foot. I saw podi last year and was
made insoles as well, but like you said if you squeeze the foot with pressure it is soo painful.
When I have been on my feet too long I start to stumble as my feet are tired and I
have difficulty in lifting them which causes me to trip.

My feet and hands are at worse with the RA actually
