My foot hurts

Yes, I have occasional pain in the side of one foot as the result of a break five years ago. Orthopedic consultant tried steroid injection, but wouldn't repeat as it would damage the supporting 'gubbins'. Only alterntive was joint fusion surgery, but that would leave me less mobile than now! So, some days it is worse than others, but I mostly put up with it and take glucosimide/codliver oil supplements when it is really bad in the damp weather.

I get times when my left knee is slightly out of joint, so when I'm walking I'm wondering is my knee going to give up and I'll fall to the floor. Its the will it wont it that gets me. It hasn't failed me yet and I think I should get some kind of support for it on those days.

Other than that I get some lumps on the sides of my fingers for months and they ache too. And I had a really terrible bout of sciatica 3 years ago and it still twinges. Not outright pain , more a niggly feeling.

And random pains like right ankle and left wrist at same time, next day might be left thumb and neck. All gone by the next day to be replaced with something else.

The grumpy thing, yes, I have had the displeasure of knowing several grumpy (men but its circumstantial) who 2 or 3 months later had heart attacks. My pet theory is they were grumpy because heart problems.

@theDudesmummy on, not another switch at 60. DM warned me about the 40 switch, I have found that one all right. Now you are telling me there is another one? That one must be a giant red button!

If the pain is joint based and moving around, you may have rheumatoid arthritis. You should get it checked out as it can have consequences if left untreated.

Something is always stiff when I wake up in the morning. Today it’s a wrist and an ankle (opposite sides). Almost 61. Aging is not for the faint-hearted

I'm worse. I'm turning into my grandmother 😩😂

The fingers on My right hand have bony lumps at the joints near the ends. Proper gnarly and often hurt.

I've looked it up and there's only ibuprofen to be taken.

I'm 66 so I guess this is an age thing.

51. Chronic off and on neck /back pain. Achy feet in the mornings. One knee that twinges horribly if I sit cross legged for too long. Right shoulder that develops a nasty burning pain if I hoover for too long. I'm turning into my mother <sobs dramatically>

I have so many aches and pains and defective body parts that when I told DH that I'd been to the doctors yesterday, he sighed and said 'what kind of doctor this time' as I collect consultants and GP appts.

I'm still lying in bed now, but I know my feet will ache when I get out of bed and my head is already hurting and my thumb aches. Plus I've got the residual pain from partially treated thrush which has aggravated my recent gynae scars down below.

I'm also hypermobile and so my knee and achilles aches, plus my rotator cuff. I'm getting up in 5 mins to start my physio exercises. Sigh.

And I'm mid 40s!

Any part of the right hand side of me. Sciatica, the gift that keeps on giving. Ironically my back doesn't hurt but it may be my hip, my knee, my calf or all at once. It's so demoralising. Lately my arms hurt too which is new, but I think I'm just incredibly tense.

When my foot started hurting it turned out to be a stress fracture. So might be worth getting it looked at if it doesn't improve.

Can we make a delicate distinction between the nagging but not life threatening pain that is always lurking, perhaps due to a chronic condition, and the circulating aches and pains? The ones that come and go in (for example) ankle or shin or wrist or shoulder; they do still eventually disappear but you're always wondering, as you work your way through your 60's, is this the time that this particular pain is going to stick around for good?

My left foot hurts. I fell over last year and broke it in three places and it's never recovered. I had another MRI a few weeks ago and I need a cortisone injection and if that doesn't work the consultant 'may need to do something surgically'. As well as that I have a ganglion cyst on the ankle and a Morton's neuroma. I suspect I may have a Morton's neuroma on the right foot as well but I'm not looking into that too much!

Oof, he's braver than I am! Think I'll stick with the traditional approach of seeing the dentist 🤣😁

@questionablemouse my DH solved his "niggly tooth" by pulling it out with a pair of pliers. He only told me a few days later, because he knew I would be furious. He says he feels great now...apart from the knees, back, wrist etc...

It was like someone had flipped a switch the day I turned 60. I do have a "real" back problem (facet joint syndrome) but I also have a fun assortment of ever changing aches and pains everywhere else. Today a knee, tomorrow a finger or a toe, and on it goes...every morning it's "guess what today" before I get out of bed! Some days an old mate, some days something completely new...None of them actually stop me from doing anything but I was never one to have any musculoskeletal problems until this!

My foot hurts too. Not so much an age thing but just one of the joys of being nearly fully flat footed. When I spend an extensive amount of time out of comfortable supportive trainers, my feet start to hurt. I've done something to really aggravate it in the last week though. Not really anything I can see docs for though.

Oh and I have a niggly tooth atm which is annoying me more!

Mine hurts too but I know why. I managed to squish it under a chest of drawers and have given myself a lovely bruise.
