Hi,
I am a very active person with spastic dip. I have very little great toe joint movement and lately I have noticed the more I am on my feet, I get pain and swelling quickly. This is totally a new event for me. Any med/treatment advice? It seems as if the pain originates on the side of the heel. Any pressure applied to it brings about the most pain. I am volunteering this summer at a camp and I don't want to be soaking my feet all day!

I have spastic diplegia also, and am 26. I went into AFOs for foot pain and swelling similar to what you describe. No more foot or knee pain, now.

Thanks! AFO? Sorry? Orthotics, I'm guessing?
