I'm new to Mayo Connect and offer my empathy to @darj and @pammiesue51. I thank you for your posts because it is the most accurate description I can think of to describe my feet. Early 2018 I noticed when laying on my back in bed that my feet felt strange, tight and it was as if they were up against something hard. I saw my GP who referred me to a Neurologist who did tests for idiopathic peripheral neuropathy (non diabetic). All OK. I do have osteoarthritis arthritis in my feet, shoulders hips and back. Plus nerve damage and disc issues in my back. I was having balance issues but have taken up walking and this seems to have helped a lot. However I still have the feeling in my feet like having stepped in glue and it's dried. I can walk up stairs easily but coming down is harder, not impossible just takes longer. I wish I just knew what is causing this. Thanks
