Arthritis

Struggling with stiffness, swelling, or joint pain in your feet or ankles? Arthritis can make even simple movements uncomfortable, but relief is possible. At Fulshear Foot & Ankle, Dr. Kunal Amin and Dr. Yumna Siddiqui provide expert, personalized care to help you regain mobility and stay active.

What is Arthritis?

Arthritis is a condition that causes pain, stiffness, and inflammation in the joints, including those in the feet and ankles. Over time, it can lead to joint damage, reduced mobility, and difficulty with daily activities. The most common types affecting the feet are osteoarthritis (wear and tear) and rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune condition), though gout and post-traumatic arthritis can also contribute to joint pain.

Symptoms of Arthritis

Arthritis symptoms often develop gradually, but early detection can help manage the condition effectively. If you experience persistent pain, swelling, or difficulty walking, arthritis may be the cause. Many patients notice their symptoms worsen after periods of rest or with prolonged activity.

  • Persistent pain and stiffness in the joints
  • Swelling, redness, or warmth around the affected area
  • Difficulty walking or bearing weight
  • A grinding or popping sensation in the joints
  • Progressive loss of motion in the foot or ankle
