Foot pain is a common symptom in spondylitis, particularly due to inflammation where tendons and ligaments attach to bone. This often manifests as plantar fasciitis (affecting the bottom of the foot) or Achilles tendinitis (affecting the heel area), which can cause pain and inflammation. Several MySpondylitisTeam members have found relief through various methods:
- Using shoe inserts to reduce heel pressure
- Applying cold therapy (like frozen packs) under the heels
- Wearing supportive footwear and avoiding walking barefoot
- Using a plantar fasciitis brace while sleeping

If you're experiencing new or worsening foot symptoms, consider discussing them with your healthcare provider, who may refer you to a foot specialist for proper evaluation and treatment.
