Foot pain with ALS

When a motor neurone dies completely, the muscle it serves stops working. Other muscles or ligaments can't offer enough support so the joints become painful. In my case, my arch was collapsing. I learned to stretch the ligaments and mobilize the joints to ease the discomfort. Pain medication, gel arch support, and massage provided some relief as well. The feeling is similar to osteoarthritis. You step out of bed and yelp!
