ANYONE HAVE FOOT PROBLEMS, I.E., NAVICULAR SYNDROME, and PMR. Thanks.
Not something I have come across before Kathy, even with hundreds of members on the forums. Many of us have had foot pain when PMR started - most describe it as feeling as if we are walking on sharp pebbles or someone is squeezing our feet hard. I could not walk barefoot for a long time, even across the bedroom, I could only move as if flat footed where in fact I have a very high instep. But never heard any mention of navicular syndrome, sorry.
Yes, arthritis of both feet which developed since October 2014. Have had PMR about 3 years but was not diagnosed until after a year and a half.
Hi describe exactly
I gather the nav is dropping as you walk etc so let me know
I was on holiday all of NOVEMBER, wearing flip flops when not p,ayong tennis or golf...when all of a sudden the navicular bone on my left foot was protruding and very painful I had both navicular bones (both feet) removed when I was 16 yrs old! I am 68 now...PMR for almost a year. It feels better when I stay off my feet and ice it. I saw a podiatrist in November and he said the ice, taping and rest were the right thing. I can stand on my tip-toes, so no fracture (that's what the dr said). Because of taking the prednisone (9mg daily) I can only take TYLENOL for pain. Thanks.
Hi kathy, no I've never suffered from such a problem but my best friends horse did!
today however, for the very first time I was walking around the supermarket and my right foot went numb? It was quite the oddest feeling, my foot went very heavy and numb and then within the minute it was ok? Go figure that one. Christina
Very odd thing to do remove nav bones so you have now got a midfoot collapse without the arch piece your medial cuneiform are collapsing
have you checked its not charcot disease
the midfoot indicates an ankle equinus because of this as you try to walk through and over as the tibia Can't progress forward the next place of weakness are the tarsal bones and knees to keep the body in a dagital plane
you will also have weak peronSal tendons
it's not mendable but can be treated by accomodative orthotics and manipulation.
