Members discussing foot pain shared personal experiences managing inflammation, joint issues, and related health challenges, with several noting that staying active, even with short daily outings, helped prevent pain from getting worse. Practical strategies mentioned included diclofenac gel, steroid packs, allopurinol for gout, pool walking, dietary changes like the FODMAP diet, and exploring clinical weight loss programs. A recurring theme was the frustration of navigating multiple specialists, insurance denials, and overlapping health conditions, paired with a warm sense of comfort in knowing others share similar struggles.

Eu também gosto muito de me cuidar de maneira mais natural. Sou adepta das terapias integrativas. E sempre faço com muitos bons resultados a reflexoterapia Podal. Quem não conhece eu aconselho fortemente a experimentar. É uma benção e os resultados parecem milagrosos. É como se tirasse a dor com as mãos.

@A MySpondylitisTeam Member. Hi Kathy, Im starting an online exercise program in June too. Is yours with the Fitness Doctor by chance? I did his free one week webinar and was very empressed by his level of detailed body mechanics explanations/directions. I had a Doctor of Physical Therapy work with me like that once, detailed body mechanics explanations, helped tremendously and then he moved away. I haven't seen or heard of anyone else in my area like that and my last PT made me worse. When i saw this Fitness Doctor, Robbie Stahl, i decided to give him a try. It's small semi private online real time exercises geared to the over 50 group 4 days a week. Who is yours?

My dr has given me steroid packs I notice if I take 2 pills for 3 days it seems to calm down - this pain in my feet is new , I have had knee pain seems forever - 4 sets of gel waiting for approval for next , pain Dr wanted to nerve block / ablation but my insurance said NO- I seen a new Rheumo 3x then he moved away - I see my primary 6/5 maybe she will have some thoughts , I also take allopurinol for gout - I find if I don’t get up and move some it’s worse … so I try to get out of my house everyday for a trip to local store or pickup up groceries- adding more fruits veggies less meat and bread , going to start. Clinical weight loss program in June - not sure I was invited and accepted it’s online maybe a little motivation, I bought myself a small pool 10x 30 which is short so I should have a place to walk in the heat - muggy stormy weather passed week has made it worse.
Several drs referred me for knee replacement but BMI is to high , and I hear some different opinions from all. My 60s are not going as I want. My mother is 85 and has struggled with same knee issues for years. She keeps pushing away , I noticed a big change my last visit.
