Guest guest Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 My RA is mainly in my feet - my right ankle to be exact. And when it travels to other parts of my body, the pain is pretty much the same: throbbing, tender, very inflamed. I do have pain on my left foot, too, but the quality is very different: sharp and stinging. Before I was diagnosed with RA, my foot doctor was convinced that I had a Morton's Neuroma and was ready to cut into it. What made me think it was something else was the fact that the series of cortisone shots never helped and the symptoms spread to other parts of my body. Now, I'm beginning to wonder whether, in fact, it is a Morton's neuroma. Does anyone else feel different kinds of pain that they attribute to RA? It seems to me that the pain pattern and type should be similar throughout the body because of how the disease affects the joints. But maybe not. I'd be interested in any thoughts on this. gloria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
