Arthritis can affect many different areas of the body: the hands, shoulders, legs, and even the feet. In fact, two of the most common joints affected by arthritis are the foot and ankle.

There are several symptoms of foot arthritis, and many of them depend on which specific joint in the foot is affected. Some of the most common symptoms are tenderness or pain in the area, reduced motion or stiffness, and swelling of the foot joints. Also, it will most likely become difficult to move or walk.

Foot arthritis can be treated in both surgical and non-surgical ways.  To reduce swelling, it is important to take pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medications.
