Suggest Treatment For Symptoms Of Foot Osteoarthritis
2005 I was told I have arthiris in my left foot. With RXs to confirm. A couple years ago a podiatric said it was Plantar Fisicitis . No RXs , she has me go by a shop and get support and recommended good supportive shoes I did so. It continues to swelling and gets painful at times. I am 70 years old and I wear compression knee hi. The doctor said she could inject a steroid for pain, never took her up on it.
