Should be titled "Foot Pain" but I like my title better.
I may have asked this before, but I can't remember. When the doctor told me I had arthritis in my feet, I was surprised and looked it up on the internet. I found that the feet are actually the most common place for osteo-arthritis to hit because the feet are made up of so many tiny little bones. Who knew?
The only pain I have is when my toes bend forward, as for lunges and calf raises. It doesn't hurt while I am exercising, but the next day I will get periodic sharp pains in my feet. The pain doesn't last, and I refuse to give up lunges, so I've just ignored it. However, it occurs to me that I should at least ask if any of you fellow older folks out there have experienced this and if anyone has come up with any solutions or exercise modifications?
I'm so glad we have so many "mature" exercisers on these forums!
Thanks guys!
