Anyone else suffering arthritis in their feet? OUCH!

Posted by Bluegrass Gal @cindychesler, Jul 15 8:12am

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?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bones, Joints & Muscles Support Group.

I have had degenerative disc disease and osteoarthritis for 30 years. Seen a lot of arthritis doctors. None of them ever looked at Gouty Arthritis for the inflammatory reaction and PAIN. Turns out most of my PAIN of inflammation is from Gouty arthritis. Controlled that and the only pain left is from nerves and spine degeneration. I am currently using Zazzee tart cherry capsules I got on Amazon as recommended by someone in this group! good luck!

I might try that brand of tart cherry capsules. I take cherry caps as well because my uric acid levels are elevated. Gout. My father had gout as well. Unfortunately, he died at a younger age, so I don’t know how his life would have continued on. I knew he had arthritis otherwise as well. I used to think that maybe it was because he was in the meat coolers as a butcher, full-time for part of his life but part-time the rest of the life he had until he died at 42. So if the cherry capsules don’t bring it down much more, I might have to be treated for it. I’m happy that the cherry capsules have at least brought it down.
I wish you well and if I have to get treated for it, I will make sure I circle back and let everybody know

I'm 55 and since I started my pre menopause in my mid 40s I've got out of bed to stand up and my ankles and feet hurt. It's got worse with age. I'm having all sorts of tests now finally. Only a few years ago my bones joints and muscles were getting worse with chronic pain all over body. I know Arthritis runs in my family and my Grandad had Osteoporosis. I've since how out I have Hyperthyroidism, Removal of my Parathyroid glands are coming out next month. It ma6 easy the Arthritis but it's not a given. Is there anyone who can give me move advice and others whos had the operation and post care Ty

Ty Dishpan, I appreciate your comment I'm very nervous having the operation but it will be worth it if I get a good results 😉. How was the insertion on the throat and is the pain after surgery really bad 😔 I read that some patients have a horse voice but how long for healing post surgery.

that would be great to hear back from you! My uric acid is above normal but not out of range with the tart cherry capsules! It did bring it down along with cutting out the purines. I wonder if I would get to "normal" with the allopurinol or other med. So I inquired of my doctor just this morning. I ALSO found out there is a connection to Interstitial Cystitis (IC) which I've had for about a year and getting treated for. I'm really curious about THAT link. You bet I will report back if I find out anything! It IS hereditary. Your pop probably didn't know or think about it. Being a butcher probably didn't help. Good luck dishpain! Lori
