Do not be embarrassed to use walking sticks. My advice, however, is not to use a walking stick since this can result in your spine not being "upright". I have sent you a private message about using medical "poles" ie not the kind of poles used by walkers and hikers.

Do you suffer from Raynaud's? Do you have vascular involvement? Do you suffer from circulatory problems?

Perhaps you can take photographs and discuss this with your rheumatologist to find out why your feet change colour and what is causing the pain. Don't suffer in silence! Go to your doctor!

With good wishes,

Ros

Please do not suffer in silence - go to see your rheumatologist.
