Rheumatoid Arthritis of the Foot

About this condition

Rheumatoid arthritis often affects the foot and ankle, causing joint pain, swelling and gradual change in foot shape. Care works alongside your rheumatologist and focuses on comfort, footwear and, when needed, surgery.

What you may notice

Swollen, painful joints in both feet, with morning stiffness and gradual change in shape.

How we help

Work alongside your rheumatologist. Footwear, insoles and injections ease symptoms; surgery is considered for painful deformities that no longer respond.

This page is general information. The right option depends on your examination and scans, so please book a consultation for advice on your own case.
