Anyone have problems with bottom of feet?

[Rocking on]

I have had crohns for 16 years, and I thought i have seen it all...but now this...

I have a large mass under my right foot, and it is extremely painful to walk on. Nothing on the skin and i dont think it is infection related. I have it on both feet but the right one is intolerable.

Although i treat at the mayo, it is 4 hours away. My local doctors never have answers, but one did opine it might be vasculitis. I did increase my prednisone for a week, and it did help, but once i reduced it came right back. it gets worse with more use and at night. I tried switching dress shoes as i do have rather flat feet, but no help.

Anyone run across this? I have been pred depedent for 16 yrs but get away with 10mg a night. I hate to have to keep it bumped for my feet. I am not overweight nor do I stand a lot at work. Been dealing with this for 5-6 weeks now. At night sometimes I have to crawl because putting weight on it hurts so damn much.

Have you discussed this with your GI?
It might be an idea to see a foot specialist like an ortho pedic specialist.
It sounds so awful for you and I do hope you will soon find some relief.
Foot problems I have had were started by a reaction to imuran, and caused intense itching
that nothing could help except ice packs, temporary relief only.
It took two years to go away.
I don't have any lumps so unable to help.
Feel better soon
Hugs and best wishes

Ty T. i have not discussed with the mayo and the local docs just upped the pred, which did work. But now it's back. Was hoping maybe someone else had experienced this as a symptom.

That's the problem with Crohns... you just attribute every ailment to it, lol.

I had this happen to me. rheumatoid arthritis was my diagnoses

Both my feet hurt so much underneath, walking was intolerable

sometimes it feels like walking on a superball or a marble. Is that the feeling you mean?

For me it is inflammation from Crohns and kind of roams from joint to joint. Pred cuts it down, even just 5 mg but as soon as I stop it can come back
