Guest guest Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 I haven't posted on here in a long time. I have a question about heel pain. My arthritis has been pretty stable for a couple of years except in my wrists and elbows. This summer I started getting quite severe heel pain. I've been to 5 doctors (GP, rheum, ER doc, orthopedic surgeon and a podiatrist) and two physio therapists. I have a heel spur and plantar faciitis, but i've also got a lot of swelling on the outside of my foot and sometimes tingling in my toes. 3 docs think it's RA related, 2 don't. Apparently the tendons and heel pad are also quite swollen and the bone itself is very tender, but the joints themselves are fine. Has anyone had anything like this and did they think it was RA related? What did people have done? I am currently wearing an aircast and am " resting " it. I've had 2 previous courses of prednisone which helped only for a short while. It's been 6 months and I'm quite annoyed. Please help.
