stiff sore feet when getting up

by Pamela
(Jacksonville ar usa)

I am 20 years old and when i get up in the morning my feet and ankles are sore and very stiff and it also happens when i lay down just for a little nap. it goes away after walking around for about 20 minutes but its driving me crazy!





Hi Pamela,
Even though you are kind of young for this, it sounds like the early signs of osteoarthritis or the "wear and tear" arthritis that we all develop as we age.
It is what is known as "morning stiffness".
You might want to consider seeing a podiatrist, having an xray to determine to whatever extent you are demonstrating arthritic changes.

If you have foot pain and came to this site it is the right place to get answers
by: Christina

This is EXACTLY what I have been experiencing and now makes sense to me. I have been to 2 doctors and no answers seemed as if they were as bewildered as me. They did xray me and confirm I have the start of aging arthritis. Looking forward to reading the other posts to solve why I have foot pain, I am athletic and researching non percriptive orthodics. Any suggestions for a site to buy them? Thanks.
