FEET FEET FEET

[Guest guest]

HI ALL

Has anyone got these problems with their feet.

I have been told in the past that I have arthritas in my toes, but a chiropodist

did not feel that they were that stiff, but he did suggest I might have ENTLER

DANLOS syndrome, and suggested orthotic insoles, but I find that they cause too

much of a problem to the ball of my both feet, and also do not like having this

part of my feet continually having the skin shaved off.

Another chiropodist informed me that it was due to fat missing from this area.

The problem with this front part of both feet has got worse, and I now have to

wonder if the walking I do is the cause of night time cramp in my feet.

Having gone by bus into town yesterday I got cramp in my feet in the night. The

toes look like they could have fluid in time the mornings.

This morning I tried pushing on this area of both feet and while I pushed on

this area on my left foot it caused three toes to move and on the right two toes

to move. I am not sure if this is caused by pushing on a nerve in this area that

is causing me discomfort. The skin is not thickened, but it does feel like there

is a thickened area under the skin.

As my Nephew has Mortons Neuroma, I wonder if this is the cause.

I am seeing my GP on Monday, and will do some photography each morning on my

feet to try and show the mishapen toes that look to me like fluid.

I have been informed by chiropodist that problems in ones feet can affect ones

lower back, and the back can also cause problems in the hips, but worst of all

if ones feet are a cause of problems one can more easily end up with a fall, and

as you get older you can do without the shock of a fall.

Even as a young child I have had problems with my feet not to mention

policeman's heel, and was that painful, and my sympathy's go to any other

sufferer.

I have also never worn high heeled shoes.
