Check out Plantar fasciitis. Its definitely a classic in spondyloarthritis (the other main form of inflammatory arthritis), but foot pain can be part of RA too.

I don't know if it is due to RA, But my feet have gone completely numb for serial minutes before, when i am sitting down , I've had it a few times now since i have been on MTX, so it could be to do with the meds, But i don't get cramps after wards. do you get the numbness to? Shirley xx

hi, i dont get the numbness, though i did get it before i was diagnosed which is odd and it has got better now , xx

Hi, interesting you say this as I have noticed a massive increase in the amount of cramp I get. I've mainly noticed it since being on MTX so could be due to the meds. I feel this is a different feeling/pain than plantar fasciitis.

hi, definitely interesting that quite a few of us seem to get it

This link is about enthesitis, but it shows how plantar fasciitis is tested for on examination (its the bit of the video where they are pressing on the sole of the foot)
