Symptoms of Arthritic Feet
As we age, arthritis is a condition that may begin to affect our bodies. It can occur in almost any place throughout our bodies and can cause discomfort making it difficult to perform daily tasks. One area in which arthritis can have a big impact on your life is on your feet. It can make even the simplest of tasks like getting up and walking, much more challenging. Thankfully at Cherrywood Foot Care, our foot doctor on Long Island (East Meadow, Bellmore, Merrick) can help treat your symptoms and make them more manageable. Arthritis is a degenerative joint disease that will cause the joints in your body to deteriorate or wear down over time. This causes pain and discomfort because it can lead to bones rubbing against each other due to the lack of cushioning and cartilage in the joints. This can be especially uncomfortable in the feet because of the constant pressure and use on an everyday basis.
