Does anyone else have problems with their feet? Some days they hurt so bad that all I can do is hobble. What do you do or take for it?

I take Gabapentin every night and ibuprofen for mine. I have neuropathy & planters fasciitis (heals spurs), among other issues.

Foot pain is how I ended up finding out I had lupus. No answer could be found for my severe foot pain and a wonderful doctor got to the bottom of it for me. I take plaquenil and amitriptyline but alas not improvement for my feet. I can tolerate a lot and it's really only my feet I want fixed, it's restricting! My feet basically always feel like one would after running 100 marathons. Anybody have the same thing? Any success with fixing it?

Hi Debbie, have a good vacation! Try putting ice raps on your feet that should help with the pain. Feel better!🐩🐩🐩🐩

I was wondering if I might be affecting my feet now. Last couple days the top of mind my feet at my ankles are aching. I just thought it was from me walking too much but imust not be. I keep my legs elevated,try to anyway, when I am sitting because of my blood clots. Just new development so don't know how to treat his. These treatments all sound useful to go ahead and try.

Last month my dr added GABAPENTIN, for my neuropath, to my list of medicines. I had gotten to the point of fighting tears to walk & crawling most of time to go upstairs. Support inserts only did so much. I still have some pain but nothing compared to before. I'm also eligible for handicapped parking now dr said. I'm to let him know when I want him to 'get me one'. I'm going ahead for it this month.
