last two days when I try to walk or even put weight on my one foot, i get
this feeling like someone is stabbing me with a needle, pin, but it is
coming from the inside out, it started in the ball area of the foot, in the
middle, now it is kind of moving around.
I have had some swelling in foot, bottom and top.
Also have an area of blue in the arch area.
I was going to look it up online but couldn't get anything to show up on it.
Does anyone have this happen to them. Do you know what it could be so I
could at least look it up. Could this have to do with the plantar fascitis
(sp) stuff.
At first I thought it was I stepped on something sharp, but the more it kept
happening I realized it was coming from inside the foot out and not outside
in, I checked my foot also to see if I could see anything, like a sticker as
in burr type thing etc and can't see anything. No holes, no nothing.
I was able though to look up my red eyes, kind of like red bags under the
eyes type thing, and it looks like I might have eczema there now too. Dah.
Never a dull moment here.
Thanks for any answers. I hope it is nothing, as with Jim helping out his
dad I don't know when I will be able to get in to see a dr again.

Jo - the stabbing foot thing is something I have to deal with all the time.
I have always just assumed it was part of the RA since my RD doesn't seem
too alarmed by it. I walk barefoot most of the time because shoes hurt, but
it comes whether I'm in shoes or not. Both feet.
Sorry - that's not much help, I know.

Thanks DeeTee, it helps to know that someone else has these pains too. I was
thinking bad thoughts, like that maybe the pred got me and that the bones
were start to break in the one foot.
Then I got to thinking that maybe this is what people mean when they say it
feels like they are walking on glass because of the plantar fascisis thingy.
I have that but never felt the pain like this. It is a sharp pain, but the
only way I can explain it is like if someone had a needle inside the foot
and then pushed on it and it was coming out of the foot.
I had that kind of pain in my heel but it was from the outside of the heel
going into the foot. So this was weird for me.
I feel for you having to deal with it all the time. Mine feet problems have
been here and there. So I guess I have been luckier than you.
I wish you wouldn't have to deal with that too.
