Awful Awful Heel Pain - Any Ideas?
I’m taking Sulfasalazine, Prednisone and NSAIDs, I’ve seen podiatrist who has strapped it and added orthotics to my shoes. I’m having a hard time not being able to walk distances and can’t run at all anymore. It’s been a month now and just getting worse. Has anyone had anything like this? I had xrays In June that didn’t show anything too unusual for RA. Limping is just causing my hips and knees to get sore too :(
I have heel spurs (plantar faciitis) and have had 2 cortisone injections when it’s flared up- a few years apart. It helps SO much. I got to where I could barely walk. Tried icing it first thing in the mornings, but the injection is the only thing that helped.
Hope you get relief soon!
I am not big on doctors - mainly bc they don’t have any answers, only bandaids, for RA patients.
Pain in the feet and hands is the worst - unbearable!
There are a few things I use that I have had success with...
1. I am a devout Christian and believe Jesus healed me on the cross!
2. I discovered I do have some digestive problems
And take a Digestive Enzyme made by an essential oil company that does work for me!
3. I use iodine! On a cotton swab over my belly or in the fat of my arms. If the iodine is still visible the next morning, your body didn’t use it (not likely)!
I am happy to answer any questions you may have on any of the 3 things I am having great success with. Blessings ❤️
When my heals start hurting I know it’s time to increase or change my RA medication. Once I get the new medication, it stops within a month or so. Feel better.
That’s wonderful all my pain 5 years ago was in my feet and ankles it was horrendous I cried and cried my podiatrist tried everything for me Corazone shots finally started to work in my heal but it was no picnic , I used a lot of aspercreame to help with the pain too I had to work and it was not a fun time being on my feet all day . Now I am retired not on my feet as much but when I am I can tell when I have had enough .
Good luck to you now I have a prescription gel to rub on but sometimes I go back to the aspercream arthritis now
My Sister has had ra since she was 25 year old (now 57). Her feet were a horrible mess! After the surgery (yes, everything that can be done she has done) she said when she first would get up, it was like 1000s of needles going thru her feet - so no, the surgery didn't/doesn't work :(
She tried the iodine (actually betadine bc neither of us have iodine - we both have farm animals). Relief finally!! She just told me last weekend that the iodine has stopped the pain in her feet and thumbs praise the Lord!!!
Here is what I told her to do...apply the iodine (betadine) on a cotton swab and paint her belly or in the fat on the back of her arms. If the iodine is still visible the next morning, your body didn’t use it (not likely)! If there is no iodine stain the next morning, your body is suffering from adrenal fatigue.
My Sister said the iodine was working and she painted her entire body the next night....lol She has taken this to the 'inth' degree now because yes, it is working! She looks fantastic- her skin on her neck was red and scaley - gross! I just saw a picture of her and her skin looked fantastic on her neck. I ask her about it and she said it has been over 10 years since her neck looked that good!
Yes, we do give Jesus all the praise and glory! We are so grateful! It was Jesus that told me to use 'iodine' - I'm just sharing my journey with you because I hate pain - it is evil! I command this beast of ra to leave our bodies now in Jesus' name.
