Osteoarthritis of the midfoot is a progressive, degenerative condition which typically takes many months or even years to develop before becoming symptomatic.
Symptoms of midfoot osteoarthritis include:
Deep, nagging, dull ache over the midfoot. Pain usually starts sporadically however, as osteoarthritis develops symptoms become more constant.
Intermittent episodes of increased, sharp pain, which often cause you to limp, can be a sign of synovitis.
Stiffness – your foot my feel stiff and tight, especially after a period of rest. Stiffness associated with osteoarthritis typically resolves by itself as you start to move and then reappears again after rest. As this condition progresses stiffness often becomes permanent.
Change of shape. Later stage osteoarthritis can cause the affected joints to change shape or get bigger. This is known as joint deformation.
