I had something strange happen to me last night for the first time and would like to know if anyone has experienced this.  I got up out of my chair and the bottom of my feet hurt so bad that it was extremely painful to walk. They stayed that way all night. When I woke up this morning they feel bruised but it doesn't hurt so badly to walk. The pain felt like the pain that we get on the insides of our knees and elbows. I was on my feet yesterday more than usual but, by far less,  that I am at other times.  I did notice earlier in the day that it felt like someone was poking my toes with a needle.  Any ideas?

I had alot of foot pain with my fibro. When I added some additional Vitamin D3 in, it has helped that alot. It sucks because its on the bottom of your feet. I still get some once in awhile, but not near as bad as before. Hugs!

If it continues, you could possibly have plantar faciitis.  I do have that and when it was bad I could barely put my heels on the floor.  It felt like someone was driving a stake through my heels.  I started wearing Birkenstock shoes and they have really helped me a lot because they stretch the tendons in the foot.  They have great support, too, but it did take me about a month to get used to wearing them.  I wore them just a little each day.

 

I also take vitamin D3 like Gail does and that helps too.

Hi Email,

I had foot pain several years ago,especially worse in the morning, when I first got up.LIke Sherrine, said it could be planter fasciitis.I had an mri and it showed the inflammation of the tissue,I also had a bone spur.Never had a problem with my feet before,but with all the reading I'm doing,I notice,a lot of fibros have had it.You should see a podiatrist, because they tesT this all the time.I had to have several cortisone shots to the heel,sounds painful, but really helps.I also had to wear a night time brave to keep the foot dorsiflexed,bent upwArd to keep the fascisa and tendons stretched. Let us know if you find out what it is.It's good to exercise your foot everyday to prevent it from comimg back.You can just move your foot up and down when your sitting or lying in bed.Feel better.

Hi, I am new to this forum, but I am not new to fibromyalgia. Over the years I experienced all kind of "weird" symptoms and for a long time they scared me a lot. Like sudden pains under my big toe where I could hardly walk. I went to my doctor - in that time nobody knew about fibromyalgia - and he couldn't find anything wrong with it. It went away after a few days and it happened after that a couple of times. When you have "strange" symptoms, look it up if it belongs to the fibromyalgia symptoms - the list is loooong (LOL), so you don't get scared every time, but always go to your doctor, who hopefully knows tons about fibro and doesn't think you are crazy. Since I came to the US, I don't have health insurance, because my husband doesn't get any decent once over his work and we can't afford it otherwise. Thank God, I lived in Germany for most of my life with great health insurance (affordable and for everybody).
So don't get scared about strange symptoms, often they are just part of having fibromyalgia.
