They put him on meds and his physical abilities improved greatly. He died 2 years later, but thanks to Shands physical his last 2 years were not terrible. Go to Shands or Mayo clinic, do this for yourself, especially since you live alone. Good luck to you.

I am going to see a doctor soon -but am wondering if anyone else has ever had this unusual problem. My feet are swollen--and I can hardly come to a standing position from having been seated for awhile. The pain is almost unbearable--. especially in the mornings. I live alone and do everything myself. But it's getting so hard to go out and do errands. I'm about ready to start using a shopping cart that you can sit in. (Ready physically, not mentally) My doctor had concluded that I have arthritis--based on aches and pains I've had in the past year--particularly my hands--and because everything else of a similar and serious nature has been ruled out.
So my question is, have any of you ever had such pain in their feet that they can hardly walk -- and if so, what was the cause of it--and how was it treated? I would so appreciate hearing from you!
