Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 , I never took Arava or Enbrel but I had the same tingling and numbness in my left foot along with excruciating pain. I couldn't put weight on that foot in the mornings when I first got out of bed. The last few months I've noticed I can't move my toes very well plus it's difficult to seperate my toes to wash between them. It's as though they are in a fixed position. My Dr gave me a Prednisone shot in the left side of my back because of back pain also. The shot didn't help my back in the least but it certainly helped my foot. I still have the numbness and tingling but not the pain. I believe most of my problem is because of RA.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Maybe the foot issues are the arthritis issues. It was sore feet that got me the diagnosis in the first place. It is pretty common to have feet that kill you with out of control RA, in my opinion AnnetteOk gang, I have questions.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I agree. My feet were where the RA first started. At first they hurt like I had been on them for days straight, then with the swelling I did expereince tingling and numbness. > > Maybe the foot issues are the arthritis issues.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I have had foot pain for some time with my ra, that resolved when I started Enbrel. The numbness and tingling started later and was independent of the arthritis pain, at least to me! Hope this makes sense. Anyway, my rheumy thinks its the Enbrel or Arava or both, after everything else was ruled out. On Tue, 21 Feb 2006 01:48:14 -0000 "" <catdelouise@...> writes: I agree.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I have to agree to. My feet is what got me a diagnosis, one that I was not really expecting because I associated RA with hands and knees, never thought about feet for some reason. They hurt so bad like I had been walking on them for days and then they started swelling around the joints and when really swollen I do get numbness and a bit of tingling, I think from the swelling.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I experienced tingling in my feet as a primary symptom and have had some feet issues ever since (16yrs). However, I have recently experienced numbness but have yet to see a podiatrist -- several metatarsals on each foot are dropped. I have noticed more foot problems when I go off medication. I have been sick for a few weeks and had to go off enbrel until I get better and I am noticing significantly worse foot pain.i_live_in_slippers <bart.tracy@...> wrote: I have to agree to.
