Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I came to know that you are having arthritis . It may be rheumatoid arthritis as you are having morning stiffness and pain in the small joints of feet. Treatment of it is analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Specific treatment of rheumatoid arthritis can be taken after confirmation by clinical examination and blood tests such as rheumatoid factor test. ESR, and C reactive protein. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
