Anyone else suffering arthritis in their feet? OUCH!
I suffer from arthritis in my feet along with Pes Cavus (really high arches considered a deformity). I have gotten BMAC stem cell therapy which only lasted a few weeks. Steroid shots. Physical therapy. And acupuncture and several rounds of an herb concoction that mixes with water. Additionally I apply ice packs and occasionally heat packs. All give temporary relief. I cannot take Celebrex, Advil or Aleve. I do not have rheumatoid arthritis. Any long term solutions?

Thank you so much! It’s good to hear your feet are in good shape. Mine are very arthritic and I also have lost all cushion in both hips. I’m trying to prepare for hip replacement but my Long Covid flares get in the way I have tried the New Balance and liked them for cushioning. I have a hard time finding shoes that fit due to two different shaped and size feet.
Thanks for sharing! Wishing us all well!

2 Reactionsplease try the Tart Cherry Capsules. I like Zazzee on Amazon $20. Take one or two. I had problems with my feet last winter. I have arthritis in my feet, hands, have had my hips and spine replaced. But it was not the OA as much as the GOUT! Dumb doctors. Because I have so much OA they never looked passed that to the PAIN becaused by high uric acid levels. The Tart Cherry capsules were a miracle after suffering so much for 30 of my 67 years! I finally went on the Allopurinol this month. My doctor had doubts of my need. It was even BETTER! nothing hurts much anymore directly from the OA. Dumb doctors. I would go several times a week. The supplement recommendation I got HERE from this group 4 months ago! I was here for the bone meds and wound up with a true miracle. If your pain is from your feet joints, give it a shot and report back!

2 ReactionsI have osteoarthritis all over but my hands and feet that especially hurt at night. I am researching the laser foot remedy. Has anyone tried it?

No, but injections work for months.
I have arthritis in my feet also that wakes me up some times at night. I've been putting peanut oil on my feet every morning before my socks. I read about in a article on natural healing. It's not gone but hasn't woke me up lately.
Hi, I have Plantar Fasciitis and heel spurs. The best shoes I have ever had are Kuru---- they are specifically for people with heel pain and feet pain/toe pain/plantar fasciitis. They aren't sold in stores, so you only buy online. My name is Catherine Witz, so if they ask who referred you to Kuru, tell them me! I have 2 of their tennis shoes and 1 house slipper. The heels are very soft and thick and comfy, like a pillow for your heel. They are pricey, but what I love is that they offer discounted shoes, where people get them and they don't fit, so they send them back and you get them at almost 1/2 off the original price! I have had great luck with that. I normally wear an 8, but Kuru, run small, so I wear a 9 in Kuru's tennis shoes and house slipper. The others shoe I love are New Balance 629, I believe-- it can allow the orthotic to be put in there. The Kuru's can handle my orthotic as well. I also have a Birkenstock house slipper that I have worn too, and it is good too. I get wide and I do much better with wide shoes. The house slipper has an adjustable strap with velcro and it is a slip on. Feels like you are walking on a cloud. They are wonderful shoes. Oh, I did get a winter boot and it is so supportive and it zips up on the side too.
