I have had pain in my feet for a while, now my ankles hurt. they feel stiff but not swollen. Does this sound like arthritis? I want to make an appt. w/ my dr. The are killing me? any comments? thanks bride527

Hi,

It could be a form of arthritis as there doesnt necessarily have to be swelling. I have arthritis in my ankles (and other parts) but I have lupus and osteo-arthritis. It seems the osteo causes more of a pain and stiffness, whereas I usually also get swelling with my lupus flares. But of course the only way to be sure is to have it checked by your doctor.
