Guest guest Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Hi Patti I would love to see some of your foot exercises. My feet kill me in the morning mostly but sometimes at the end of the day too. Joy Pat Arcand <ihaveavisionuc@...> wrote: Hello Everyone; I had surgery on my left foot Dec. 6, a result of the RA. My ortho Dr. who did the surgery stated that with RA and joint issues, the feet take a pounding, lol. He suggested that I support my arches as much as possible because in a lot of RA patients, especially women the arches collapse and the nerves then become compressed as in my case, surgery is the only way to correct the compression. The bad part of the surgery is 6-8 weeks of bedrest, cast and PT. I firmly believe in a preventative plan from now on. I wear Kangeroo shoes, they have a really great arch support and also Birkenstock shoes have the best support out there if you can afford them. You can browse on their online store. I also have some great feet exercises that I can share if you would like them, just let me know. Have a great and painfree day!!
