I know it's been like forever since I last posted, but this is a ?Fibro? symptom I've never really experienced before. The bottom of my feet ache when I walk on them; feels almost like walking across a floor covered in marbles, if that makes sense. It started while I was pregnant, but unlike some of the other pregnancy discomforts, it did not go away, and I've never experienced it with fibro before. My legs ache, and have always with a flare (LOVING this weather mad ), but never really the bottoms of my feet. Pain meds help the fibro aches and flaring in the rest of my body, but does nothing for that. Massage helps temproarilyb as long as it is confined to my feet (can 't handle massage in my legs, it makes RLS worse and my leg muscles go crazy), but it doesn't last. Any ideas?

I suffer from feet pain. (I am a barefoot kind of Southern lady, so that has to disappear at times.) I always describe it as if someone has beaten my feet with a cane and they are left bruised.

I like to put my feet in the foot bath massager. I also bought some of those sponge slippers and I wear those in the house. It has helped me a lot. During a flare, I never put bare feet on the floor. It just makes the pain worse.

Hey Dori!

Great to see you posting again. I don't get the 'marble' feeling but mine will sometimes feel swollen and painful to walk on. I have one of those foot bath deals if you want to borrow it. ;-) lol... Other than that let the guys do the work and you put your feet up. Great idea?

Love ya,
Chutzie

I have foot pain often. I have had a condition before called Plantar Fascittis (sp?) that involves swelling of the muscles in the bottom of the feet. As I remember it, the first thing that I noticed was a feeling as you described, as if I was stepping on a marble. Then I noticed a knot in the arch of my foot. The doctor recommended pain relievers, resting my foot, and not going barefoot.

Hi Dori, Having had fibro since I was young I have found that just when you get used to having the pain in one place it will move to a new one. I think now it has covered all parts of my body and is starting over again.lol Having said that though you might want to mention it to your dr. because it could be something like what steppingstone said, and no Im not going to try and spell it. :-). Hopefully you get relief soon.
Gentle Hugs

I have the same problem I call it my puppy feet because the pads of my feet turn beet red and get puffy. They look like paws. I also have a feeling like the bottem of my feet have been scrapped. Now they are going numb. One thing after another. I hope you feel better soon

Thanks guys! I guess I will mention it to doc when I am down there and see what he says. Not walking barefoot may help too, if my DH or house guest hadn't ruined my slippers walking outside in them! Though it wasn't a total loss I guess because they weren't all that much more comfy than going barefoot except being warmer. I'm not much of a tennis shoe person, i prefer flats, but I break them down fast and my last pair needs replaced so I've been wearing my tennis shoes, which helps the bottoms of my feat a bit because of the support, but the rest of my foot swells because they are constricted, thus my preference for flats with good support. Anyways, Chutz, I think I'll take you up on that and givbe it a try-didn't make it too far yesterday:) As for letting the guys do things, I know you know the feeling of if you want it done this year, you end up doing it yourself. Though I don't have a lot of room to talk-Mt Fujilaundry is still by the washer taunting me>
