Thanks a lot for answering my question, but I don't have metatarsal fracture that is in the other article what I have is similar. I did Mri Bone scan and Xrays which id not show any problem except inflammation of the forefoot joints, it might be Arthritis I'm confused.

Sort of, I get sore feet, mostly right sided and in the arch, more recently, I feel as thoug a muscle has knotted just at my big toe, I massage the area, and the day after I have a lovely bruise, sometimes just a tiny one, but right now it's thumb sized. Sarahx

My problem is it affects the balls of the two feet with inflammation of the joints of the forefeet can't walk more than 10-15 minutes and I feel as if there are stones in my shoes, anyway thanks for your answer

I have tendon damage that cause clawed toes in all my toes and my achilles Tendons are very tight due to shrinkage plus Neuropathy in both feet x

I have APS and Sjogrens and it seems these autoimmune diseases cause so many problems in our bodies is there any end to it??

I have oddly over recent weeks had a burning sensation on top of my right foot. It is quite regular but nothing can be seen and I cannot think of anything that I have done to hurt it.

[dalalf in reply to Jade]

My Orthopedic told me autoimmune diseases can cause Rheumatoid Arthritis that wont show in many of the tests I did, it seems many of us will get something of this sort.

I get heel pain, stops me walking sometimes

[dalalf in reply to donnabrain]

My pain is in the forefeet, stop walking many times. It's good to know that many of us APS have same issues so we can tell our doctors of what's going on to many of us.

I have pain in hands and feet. Having hand surgery soon.

[dalalf in reply to k7pbx]

Take a second opinion as it might be like me Rheumatoid arthritis due to APS and make sure you need it

[luisal]

Very educative the question posed and the comments posted. I'd been diagnosed with APS and have suffered pain in the forefeet for the past two years; according to my Immunologist the pain is not related to the Syndrome.What is helping to ease the pain is walking and practicing specific yoga poses. I live in Venezuela where perhaps medical care is not at England's level. Please do let me know your evolution.

I live in Lebanon and we have very good doctors I did several MRI for the feet and bone scan and doppler and the last was an Xray for the soles of the feet. I saw an Orthopedic who has come back to lebanon 2 years ago from Mayo clinic and he thinks that APS and Sjogrens as I have both may cause some kind of Arthritis as the joints of the toes are inflamed and can't walk more than 10 minutes he advised me to put medical insoles they are soft and it helped me. I'm seeing another Orthopedic next week and if he tells me I need an operation then I'll go to London UK as my Rheumatologist is in the Lupus center that was created by Dr Hughes and I was lucky enough to see him eight years ago before he retired and he diagnosed me as having APS. Another thing Dr Hughes told which is nice to know is, during a big medical convention attended by 400 Rheumatologists they decided it should be called after him Hughes Syndrome. I'll keep all who answered my questions posted after I see the doctors in London.

[luisal in reply to dalalf]

Do please keep us posted on your evolution. It seems to me that I'll have to consult Dr. Hughes sooner or late.

[dalalf in reply to luisal]

Dr Hughes doesn't practice he is all around the word giving lectures but there are other doctors in the Lupus center it is in London Bridge Hospital it's where I go every few months for a checkup.

[luisal]

How do I know if Dr. Hughes ever comes to Venezuela? Do you know? If I ever go on consultation to London. what doctor will you recommend to me? My APS is a primary one.

[dalalf in reply to luisal]

Dr Hughes stopped treating patients he only gives lectures, I have been seeing Dr Tench at London lupus center the past five years. this is the website you can get a lot of information and telephone numbers and address hope this will be of some help

[luisal]

Oh thanks a lot! Keep posting for all of us and take care

[dalalf in reply to luisal]

I will when I get more information
