I’ve just put that out of my mind.
Going barefoot is seriously only going to keep it aggravated. Shoes with great support is needed . It drives me nuts but I have a pair of shoes that I wear just around my house.
I also have psoriatic arthritis bad in my feet and ankles. So more pain.
I’m just glad they finally make great ortho support shoes that are attractive now lol
I literally feel your pain.

Thanks so much, Christina.
My GP said there's "no injection that will help." Well, I know that's BS. I'm hoping I get a worthwhile podiatrist. Actually, some years ago I had a torn rotator cuff (shoulder) and had a steroid injection. The needle was...uh...long. Honestly, though, it didn't hurt. I felt some pressure and that was all.
You are absolutely correct about going barefoot. I admit that I've been ridiculously stubborn about it. I love having bare feet, but the pain is so intense that I'm accepting that I need to wear house shoes. Sucks.
I have suddenly, within a month, developed arthritis in my knees and finger. Again, my GP blew me off. All she focuses on is "psych meds causing weight gain." Okay, I get that - but I think I deserve a better answer and a treatment plan.
