painful feet

RA diagnosed a few years back. The bottoms of my feet have been very achy lately. It’s new I also have some swollen lumps on my my foot. Bible cysts or something any ideas on how to treat this? It also coincides with severe itching that is a burning sensation all over especially in the heat. Any ideas on what to do to relieve this? It’s a lot on top of the usual problems and trouble breathing

Yes that’s the correct term. I could not remember it before. The bottoms of my feet have been aching all over. Is that normal

Make an appointment with GP as you needed resolved as it's the sole of the foot

have you seen a doctor as we can’t advise you how to treat it. I had a ganglion on the top of my foot and it was drained.

You need your GP to advise. A podiatrist referral might help with some of this.

In the U.K. we would ask for advice from our rheumatologist…Maybe it’s the same in the USA?

It sounds as if you could have neuromas in your feet.

A podiatrist specialises in feet and they are often much more skillful in diagnosis in that area. An opinion from a podiatrist would guide you in where to seek help and treatment.
