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.
