A member asked:

Advice on what to do now? feet constantly hurting, walking helps, feet cramp when not active. stiffness when off ft over 5 min.podiatrist unhelpful.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Advice on what to do: Are you diabetic? Do you smoke? Do you have back problems? See a neurologist for exam and ncv /emg study and if negative, then a vascular doctor. Possibly another podiatrist for another opinion.
