Suggest Remedy For Severe Joint Pain In Feet

I was taking Livalo for about 3 months and stopped about 3 weeks ago because of severe joint pain in my feet where the toes meet the foot. It s hard to walk now. I was told that I should be taking glucosamine with condroitin so I started taking Osto Bi Flex twice a day 10 days ago. It seems to help but I also take a Extra Strength Tylenol (500mg) every morning. Now that I ve stopped taking the Livalo and started taking the glucosamine, will the pain eventually go away?

Doubtful. The structures that are at the base of the toes are muscles, joints, and bones. These get irritated. There can be fractures, this is far less common. BUT if you have irrigation of muscle joints and tendons, these would get better over weeks BUT only if the area is not continually injured. If you do't know a particular time where they were injured, then mostly likely they will keep being injured by what you are usually doing and not heal up.
changing the stress on them might need physical therapy.
