This is just my experience and maybe you should show your dr your feet. I have swollen ankles at the moment and I'm sure its a problem of lack of exercise and circulation. I am reducing salt intake and doing exercises to promote circulation in my feet. Sort of flexing my feet up and down as tho I'm tapping my feet. That was advised by physio

Thanks for the tips! I bet it's the salt on my popcorn!

I have been on Cimzia since January and while it's had some impact, it's had no effect on my feet and my hands! My consultant told me I have swollen tendons in my foot and gave me a steroid injection, but sadly that had no effect either. I alternate between gentle exercise and rest. Swimming is good and I've been doing Pilates which is great for stretching. But it's really difficult when you have painful feet, isn't it? I can't walk any distance without difficulty and stairs are a nightmare!

I really hope you get some relief and that the Cimzia works for you x
