Although they don't appear visibly swollen, my feet are bothering me. I have the tingly burning sensations going on. Its very hard to describe what I'm feeling. It seems that my feet are changing - I recently bought a pair of Skechters which I loved at first - 1 1/2 month ago - still wear them. But my toes slip foward walking downhill and it almost feels as if they get cold and go numb? Its mostly the little toes that have the erosions that I feel, there are sharp pains from them if I hit them just right. Walking uphill is better. I was standing in the neighbors garage and had to keep shifting my weight one foot to the other. I walk, do the eliptical, low-high impact areobics. They are the best when I'm sleeping. I have been on MTX for 12 weeks- 4 weeks at 10mg and 8 wks at 20mg and everything else is better but the feet - they seem more uncomfortable than when I was DX 3 months ago? The thought of going shoe store to shoe store and spending $$$ I don't have over helms me. Is the MTX not working? My DH is big on inserts but I don't have a clue what I need to be looking for? I see my RD next week hopefully he'll know what I'm talking about with some ideas?Bonnie
I have found wearing inserts have really helped me,I wear powersteps they are about 25 dollars.my feet have always been a problem,they are not completely pain free,but feel so much better. hope you can find some relief
