I have been seeing a collection of health practitioners for some backaches, neckaches and a right foot ache......been telling myself for a while the achiness when getting up from bed and from being seated for periods was just my born in the 50s age showing but have been told it is spine curvature with hip twisted , a misplaced atlas vertebra and now today, the podiatrist said the achy top bones (tarsals) on my foot are arthritic (place of an 18 month old ouch from an inverted ankle when my sandal strap broke)

anyway, foot doc wants me to take Mobic for 3 weeks and so I would value any insights, info etc on both the zone of the arthritis and the med.
Wearing closed shoes hasnt been comfy for some time so I have been wearing flat sandals (easy here in florida!) but doc has suggested a different sandal with more support......any tips there?

I am already taking glucosamine-chondroitin-msm and my multi vit/mineral etc...and I guess I am going to start arnica rubs and epsom salts footbaths.

here to learn please, as apart from knowing a little about rheumatoid arthritis for my MIL, I know overall not much about it so all input valued ....

thanks

Cheri
