Hello,
I told you! Every week I get another problem-well this is my latest!

My big toe is sore!!!!!! My feet have been bothering me for a while and my big toe on right foot has been very painful and 'locks'. Anyway, noticed a red mark on the side of my right foot where the big toe joint is. Never thought anything of it but this morning it was there again but it was massive! Very red, squashy? and the joint is painful. I've just looked at both feet which are sore and the joint on right is swollen but also have fluidy-like swelling (in both feet)around all my toes going into foot-hope that makes sense?
Anyone else get this?

    Hi Magenta
    I am sorry you are finding new parts of the body to cause pain etc. Hey, well you can never say life is boring with arthur! He likes to keep surprising us. My foot is swelling on and off at the moment but that`s due to the surgery and me not resting as mush as I should :oops: . I`m sure someone will come along with better advice than me but just wanted to say I hope it settles down soon.xx

    What can I say? I'm sorry you're feeling another pain.

    Hi to you both,

    My toes are killing me :( Another thing to add to my long,long list.

    How are you Averyniceman? How's your pains? Any further forward with being diagnosed? I'm still waiting for my CCP result but the way my feet/toes are just now there MUST be something there-surely?!

    NB- how's things with you? Feeling better yet?

    Take care both of you :wink:

    I get this in my hands, where the knuckle joints swell up and get all fluidy. Sometimes looks like I am wearing a painfull red boxing glove. Goes down again after a few days on the paracetemol.

    Hi
    Sorry you've got a sore toe, things like that drive you crazy. I'd just keep an eye on it, in case its infected. I stepped on the cat once, and go 'cat scratch fever'!!! I felt really ill and had to have antibiotics. The cat was fine :lol::lol: Seriously, though, take care and hope it returns to normal soon. Love Sue.

    You know today I felt great all day -- just like before this whole thing started. I teach 11 year olds and I refereed an agressive game of football, and I danced my way around the classroom (much to their delight).

    And then, this evening -- a pain in my right leg again.

    Hiya averyniceman,
    It never goes away does it? You think you're getting better then it sneaks back at ya! My toes were all swollen and burning last night. Today I've now got a very sore left thumb-it's as if there's something cluncking (my tendon?) in there, and it's very painful!
    Have you got another appointment lined up-sorry, can't remember if you told me that already.
    You must be knackered after all your running aboot!

    Hi Magenta
    It sounds like arthur is having a game of chase round your body at the moment! I hope it settles down soon and gives you a break!
    I have posted a new thread today about how I am feeling so I won`t bore you again.
    Hope you get a good nights rest.
