I have very bad arthritis in my feet as well. When I wake up in the morning and put my feet on the side of the bed, I move them all around, including my ankles to get loose and everything cracks, including my toes. Also, the area on the bottom of the feet underneath, the toes is very painful. Podiatrist told me not to use shoes that I was using. He said there wasn’t enough support in the arch. So I changed shoes, but I still am having some issues with bottom of the foot. May need to visit with the podiatrist again for other thoughts. But I will certainly try some of the things that other people have talked about here. Thank you🙏

I am housebound due to over all my body arthritis-undergoing the journey for knees and shoulder/neck. I don’t wear shoes around the hose, just socks. I haven’t even gotten the doctors involved in the foot pain, but if y’all definitely know I should be wearing shoes please tell me and give any advice. It’s excruciating the few times I get up out of bed/recliner. Should I exercise through the pain, or is that making it worse? Will a podiatrist be a waste of time, just go straight to the osteo guys working on all my other joints (cortisone is rationed severely-why?-at 79 what do I care about cortisone side effects?!) Getting desperate…thank God for long term care insurance providing caretaker/cook/housekeeper! Foot advice? First “steps”:) for relief?
