Verna! Don't remember if I said Merry Christmas to you! If I didn't, Merry Christmas, If I did...well, Merry Christmas again.
Sorry to hear about the foot pain Granny. RA has deformed my toes. I also have Metatarsus Aductus, meaning the bones in my feet curve inwards, plus I have plantar Fasciitis. Foot pain is a special breed of beast. Just asked DH to massage my right foot as the top is aching. When you need to walk, have to walk, depend on your feet to walk and they hurt when you do walk on them, it ain't fun.
Granny, have you ever tried Voltaren gel or Solonpas lotion with lidocaine? @penny1960 turned me on to the lidocaine rubs and my rheumatologist recommended the Voltaren for me. Voltaren is a rub on form of NSAID/ibuprofen. It really helps my feet and shoulders when they are bothering me.
I think the Voltaren comes in a generic form now and is OTC. The name brand is a bit cashy but you can find the generic on Amazon for 15.95.
Feel better.
