I massage the area and it helps then goes away. Been trying to drink more water and take Mag/Cal supplement. Just curious if this was just an issue I have to deal with.

Seems a common problem. Be sure to gently stretch before you get out of bed and during the day, before you get up out of a chair.
Gentle is the key word. Massage is a good thing and glad to hear that it helps.
In addition to Mag and other minerals, Source naturals wheat sprout pills or all that green powder formulas help. How these help is that they help the liver make glutathione. Any liver support should help, too.
I also noticed the best change after being on andrographis for a while. It really reduces edema (swelling) and help with pain that way, too.
It is mentioned in Singleton's book "The lyme disease solution" and discussed at length in Buhner's "Healing Lyme"
and PubMed has many abstracts about it.

Every single morning. Goes away after I've walked for a minute but man..when my feet hit the floor it's just rotten!

Thanks for the input guys...appreciate it.
Strange how I had the problem a couple of years ago and it stopped and its starting again.

I have it too. Bart I think. I used to have to get up in the middle of the night(between pees) and run my feet under a cold tap they were like they were on fire. Hot and dry.
That was end of last summer on the levaquin. That has gone now thankfully.
Still have the slight sensitive soles for the first steps when I get up.

The reason for massaging and stretching before your feet hit the floor is to help prevent damage to the tissue.
My foot doctor says it's also important to always were supportive shoes, even around the house and instead of slippers.

Sounds like Bartonella to me, too. A friend had it. Was treated & hasn't recurred.
I have a stiff right akle many mornings, too. 'Course I busted my right foot nearly OFF my legbones in 2004. Lottsa scar tissue in there now. Guess I gotta blame myself for that stupid leap off top of the 8' chain-link fence that evening, though. Didn't hlp that the cement bar- that keeps cars from drifting off the lot was where it Was. And that I was 47. Posted by 'Kete-tracker (Member # 17189) on :
A stiff aNkle as well. Posted by pippifern (Member # 11564) on :
Me too! I limp to the door, and then by the time I get to the bathroom, my feet are fine. Thanks for the tip to do a bit of massage first.
