Sleep

Leanne

New to this page. Any suggestions on getting a full nights sleep. I have arthritis in both feet. Both feet swell and burn up when I'm in bed and during the day

Hello @Leanne, welcome to the online community! It's lovely to have you here.

I see that you're having trouble sleeping due to swelling caused by arthritis in your feet. Sleep is really important for managing pain so it can be a bit of a vicious cycle. I wonder if you have tried sleeping with your feet slightly elevated on a pillow? Here are some links you might find helpful:
