Hi I have the same issues with my feet. I know it is painful. My Doctor has given me cream for my pain. I put it on my feet and hands due to the pain. It doesn't take the pain away but it sure eases the pain. It is called diclofenac 10% in vanpen. It is a prescription.

I had plantar fasciitis several years ago. I also have heel spurs. I chose physical therapy over surgery and I wasn't expecting a miracle but it worked! I still get occasional pain but nothing like it was. That sucks that PT isn't covered. Maybe look up some exercises online that you can try? Best wishes

I have these foot issues really bad, but it helps to get memory foam slip on shoes and always wear them. I only take my shoes off to sleep, and I have to shower with crocs on... NO BARE FEET EVER.

Yes to both. I stretch my feet in the am before getting out of bed if possible then I massage them at the end of the day. Warm epsom salt soaks help along with a heating pad if it's really bad. Trying to go down stairs is the most difficult for me. You can look up exercises online...I doubt PT would do much more for yoy

I have spurs at the knuckle of my big toe and it can be very painful. I also find my feet are always cold I ware 2 pairs of socks some days and always ware socks ti bed. My feet will feel like they are on fire but to the touch they are freezing somedays.
We never seem to catch a break do we? *sigh*
