I often have the.ankle and feet.pain. have sprsined the ankes.s couole of times the last few years which doesn’t help. I rub in a few drops of peppermint oil on the bottom of my feet and that often helps ease the aching and givrs you.a little bit more general energy. if you can’t get the oil use any lotions that have peppermint in it, or if you can handle the menthol you can rub tiger balm on your feet. I also do this on my aching calves the day after.I’ve had.too much activity.

Yes, I have foot and ankle pain…mainly swelling, stiffness, and ache in the joints…even the toe joints. Some times my right ankle feels like it is going to give out on me…so occasional weakness there too.

Sarah it's a total nightmare and it does cause a weakness where you feet are going to go from under you but the cracking hurts me the most because as my toes crack, then my ankles do the same, such a shocking vibration :)

Hi Sandy73 ,

When you say feet issues is it a burning needle like pain? I have recently developed Neuropathy in my feet from having Lupus, the pain is unbearable! The bottoms of your feet turn very red and it literally burns! I was sent to a neurologist for it and was prescribed Gabapentin 100MG (up to 3x a day) and just in taking it within 1 day I feel less pain! I hope this helps you , if you have anymore questions let me know!

I do feel for you as neuropathy is a nightmare regarding the nerve damage, as i was tested years back and two tests came in positive regarding nerve damage...you may find the link below interesting on conditions it's linked with.
