in Living with arthritis

does anybody suffering with rheumatoid arthritis get numb feet,I have this problem and have had numerous tests to find out what is going on ,but they have no answer,I’m convinced it’s a side effect of the drugs they give me ,in particular methotrexate

I’m going to speak to my consultant Tuesday about stopping the methotrexate and I’m also going to see another consultant privately

    Hi @Pheather1 I used to get numb feet when I has sciatica which was the result of spondolitis. Luckily it has past now unless shopping! I find the stop start movements really set it off.

    Might be worth checking sciatica out.

    Hi @Pheather1

    Never had numb feet except with my back before I had surgery.

    Good luck with your consultant fingers crossed for you

    Ive had numb and heavy feet for years. Feels like I still have a shoe on when in bare feet. I take lercanidipine tabs for bp but my numb feet it not a side effect of the tabs because I once went 6 months without taking the tabs and still had the numb feet. I presume it's my age 60s when I first was aware of it. Recently turned 70.
