My foot pain has gotten a lot better on Humira. I can now stand if I want to; before I really couldn't for any period of time.

I've been on drugs (NSAIDs, a statin) that have caused edema (fluid retention) but it was non-pitting edema, so hard to see. But it caused a lot of the things you are describing. I had what is called "pulsating tinnititis" where I could hear my heartbeat in my ears. The edema also caused my tendinitises to be worse back when I had those problems. The Humira and LDN have helped my tendon issues a lot.

Could the biologic or some other drug you are on be causing edema? Its effects can be subtle.

On way to tell if its edema causing the foot pain or making the foot pain worse is to buy some compression stockings / socks. If they help, its edema. My podiatrist suggested that to me and she was right.
