Stepping out of bed onto rocks was the first sign of trouble in the bottom of my feet. There weren't really rocks on the floor, but it sure felt like it. It was the small joints in the bottom of my feet that felt like sharp rocks whenever I stepped down. The first time it happened I almost fell over.
I stepped out of bed and went forward with fast tip-toe walking until I found a wall to brace myself. Overnight, both feet had become so inflamed, it was difficult to walk. Unsure what to think, I hit the search engines. Metatarsalgia.
The MRI of my right foot has shown the inflammation there. There's no doubt that the steroid shots help relieve the pain at times. Metatarsalgia. What a thrill. Another manifestation of my psoriatic arthritis. Mystery solved. Check mark.
