Thanks for your answer. The first two (of 10) surgeries on my feet were for bunions, and they did feel like I was walking on stones. I have had 3 nodules on the bottoms of my feet. That felt like walking on stones too. Easy to get them removed. My right hand wouldn't open and my ring finger was dropping down. I found an orthopedic Dr who specializes in the upper body and that includes hands. He replaced all the knuckles between the fingers and hand (I think that all the replaced stuff is connected) with plastic knuckles. My hand is still kind of stiff but I can straighten out all may fingers that are still trying to slant to the outside. I'm satisfied with that for now. I have some CBD and homemade cannabis tincture. Due to the COVID-19 I chose to go off of methotrexate and told my rheumatologist that I'd see him again after I get vaccinated. I hate messing with my immune system since no one really know what is the cause of the so-called autoimmune conditions. I need to get on the stick and take my CBD/cannabis. Diagnosed w/RA in 2001.
