Marbles under foot feeling?

I’ve had RA since 2020. I’m also a medical assistant and work at a foot and ankle office. My advice is to wear good supportive shoes inside and outside. Have you gone to a good podiatrist and had your feet examined?

Hi . Do you mind if I ask if there are any actual lumps or small marble like items under the skin? I ask because nodules are a not uncommon symptom of RA. Our contributor Tamara wrote about them here: https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/living/rheumatoid-nodules. Also, RA can cause nerve issues that may lead to numbness. This article from our editorial team discusses nerve symptoms: https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/symptoms/nerve-symptoms. I'm not saying either of these are what you are experiencing (only a doctor can do the proper diagnostics), but I want to share the information. Hoping you can get some answers and relief soon.
