Foot pain?

Good day all, I was wondering if anyone has foot pain?  I had a really
bad episode of peripheral edema and ever since then my feet hurt if I
am wearing socks and shoes.  Although my feet are no longer swollen,
they hurt unless I am bare foot.  I guess it is more of an ache, not
much real pain but very annoying.  First thing I do when I get home
from work is loose the shoes.  Has anyone else had this issue?  It has
been over a year since I had the peripheral edema.  I was hoping this
would go away.

Hi Steve--

I have had foot pain related to lupus, however it did remit, and I don't
have it anymore, so perhaps you can look forward to that.  When I had it, it
was joint pain in the metatarsals, and it's cause was basically just like
lupus joint pain anywhere else.  Never knew I had so many joints until I had
lupus!

The foot pain I complain of these days is due to an old injury.  I had it
x-rayed and there is scar tissue in there.

best of success to you, my friend,

Mair

I'm dealing with this right now.
I'm retaining a lot of fluid not only in my feet.
I can't tolerate socks that normally fit or shoes.  I've been wearing Uggs
and Crocs.

I've always had edema in my hands and use Handeze gloves to help.  Without
the gloves, my hands will throb just as my feet are.

Using Lasix isn't even enough.  Not sure what I'm gonna do.  And to make
matters worse, we're going to Walt Disney World in March.

If you get any answers, please share.  I was told drink a lot of water, low
sodium diet and take the meds.
My pain doctor says using opioids causes water retention..... he played it
off but it's causing me pain.

I'm trying to increase my exercise and see if this helps.

Hi Nicole, I have yet to find an answer to this.  I was talking to my
general practice doctor and he suggest that my issue may be from poor
circulation due to the type 2 diabetes the Prednisone caused.  Also
the fact that I have renal issues can contribute to the poor
ciculation problem.  Now I do not know if I believe him or not because
the issue happened when I had the edema, now the edema is completely
gone and I still can not stand to have anything on my feet.  Oh well I
would move to the bahamas and stay barefoot if I wasn't also severly
uv sensitive.  :)

You shouldn't - you probably also have diabetes-induced neuropathy,
which means you wouldn't notice tripping over a coconut, and would
suffer severe foot damage. Have you had the "little prick" test on your
feet?

Not sure what you mean by the "little prick" test, so I would say no.
However my type 2 diabetes is gone, and I still have this issue.

Pricking with a needle, especially on the soles of the feet, to see what
is the smallest prick you can feel. The larger the minimum, the worse
your nerve ends are.
