Has anyone else here been afflicted with this very painful and immobilizing

condition of the foot? & nbsp; I was struck down with it about a year into

my PA. & nbsp; And in fact, it is why I was initially put on mtx. & nbsp; I

would have to put stacks of pillows and cushions on the side of my bed,

just so that I could get out of bed in the mornings and even then it would

take me several minutes before I could finally support myself on my feet. & nbsp;

I also had to wear well cushioned footwear and found joggers to work the

best. & nbsp; I got to a point where it was almost impossible for me to walk

because of the pain and I began using a cane and hobbled along, with the

pain radiating thru the soles of my feet with every step I took. & nbsp;

It was like my feet were in a permanently cramped state. & nbsp; Fortunately,

I finally got to the right doctor who dx me immediately and got me to a

rheumatologist. & nbsp; It is definitely associated with PA and I have been

so lucky to never have it bother me again. & nbsp; I also wear a pair of

very good adventure shoes and they are extrememly comfortable, due to the

dual cushioning in the foot. & nbsp; Apparently such a sole is good for this

condition. & nbsp; But I remember the pain so clearly.

<br>Has anyone else here had this affliction?
