Feet in pain....

Hello everyone. I've had RA for 9 years. What it has affected the most is my FEET. It's been that way since the beginning. Today I'm struggling to walk.


The pain is burning, aching and stiffness. It's painful to stand. 


I'm on a biologic and DMARD . 


Any suggestions or are my meds just not working?...


Ty.

Same here gingergirl - when MTX worked for me, my foot pain was intermittent and tolerable. I'm now only one dose in on Humira, so nothing is working (yet). Sadly, I have no solutions....

I have had horrible feet problems... I thought it was Plantar Fasciitis.. saw a foot dr and had surgery on both feet. It eased it a little but the stiffness is still there.
Even now I cannot cook or do dishes or walk anywhere for any length of time without my feet hurting... the only relief I have found and it is short lived is soaking them in Epsom salt.
