Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I've had pain in the bottom of both feet for over 3 years. I had Tarsal Tunnel surgery last summer and then was diagnosed with RA this past winter. I've been taking methotrexate(2.5mg 3x 12hrs apart 1st a wk), Prednisone(5mg daily)and Celebrex 200mg daily. I can get around better but am still limited. Is it common to have RA only on the bottoms of both feet with no other pain. Where can I get information on this specific issue and talk with someone who has the same illness? Thanks!!--Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Have you had a second opinion? Have you been to a foot doctor? Do you know your blood test results? RA is a disease that is often misdiagnosed because so many other diseases have similar symptoms. My website has a page with links specific to RA in the feet: http://arthritissupport.info/Rheumatoid Arthritis.html a On Oct 10, 2005, at 10:18 PM, orioles2324 wrote: > I've had pain in the bottom of both feet for over 3 years.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Thanks a, I actually was checking your site last nite. You're right I need to find a second opinion. I've been to a few dr's in the Washington DC area. Dr. Scalettar, rheumatology, is the my current Dr. He's good but I'm trying to find info to my specific problem. Any referrals would be greatly appreciated!! thanks--chris > > > I've had pain in the bottom of both feet for over 3 years.
