Thanks, for your response! I've had x-rays done on the toe. Doc wants to fuse the bone! trying to hold off on that one, but the rest of the foot is so bad, may have to give in.
Have you had similer problems?
thanks again, lucygirl159
Thanks for your response! yes, I have been x=rayed, and my Dr. wants me to have the toe joint fused. I am stalling, due to just recently having both shoulders operated on. but just recently the rest of the foot is giving me fits, have had cortizone injections in both heels, was doing fine until this toe has worsen, now it's flaring up again.
Have you had similer problems? thanks again, lucygirl159
I would think if the pain is worsening or spreading that maybe the arthritis has spread into other joints. Since the heel is not a joint that could not be explained by the arthritis. Hope you find the answers you are looking for.
Have you been seen for the chronic pain in your toe? It sounds like you need to get to the root cause.
