Does anyone wake up and as soon as you put your feet on the floor they hurt and feel stiff and swollen? I mean it hurts just to get up and go to the bathroom. Once I walk around for a few minutes they start to feel better. Also if I stand on my feet for a few hrs, maybe like 3 they start to hurt sooo bad. The joints hurt too. I'm sure most people with fibro have felt this. I am about 25-30 pounds overweight so I know this doesn't help, but still that little shouldn't make em feel this bad.

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas! and has a *good* pain day tomorrow. (cause you know were never pain free)

My feet give me fits, whether I stand on them or not...and different parts of the foot, maybe tops or sides or heels at different times. Sometimes I wrap them in bandages if they are really bad.

just more lovely fibro I guess

hope the pain lightens up and you have a lovely holiday

There have been times that mine were super sensitive, especially when I first got out of bed. It eased up for no known reason & it could come back

I would talk to your doctor. It is possible it is plantar fasciitis, and inflammation of the tendon that runs along the bottom of your foot. There are also some other things it could be that isn't fibro and if you ignore it you could be suffering needlessly.

I have this as well--almost like you have to walk on eggshells, but even that doesn't help. My feet also loosen up after about an hour, but I stand on them all day and within 3 or 4 hours after waking up, they are sore again. My boyfriend routinely rubs my feet, which seems to help. If your other half has no problem rubbing your feet, I recommend it.

I have this as well. Mine started last spring and I thought I had plantar fasciitis but my doctor said to get special fitted insoles for my shoes which I did. It actually helped my feet for about 6 months, but since all my other symptoms have come on, my feet are just as bad as they were last spring.

I do not get relief from the foot pain, it stays with me 24/7.

I wonder if buying specially fitted insoles would work, the ones that they dip your feet with a resin and make a mold...? My brother was Navy (Medical discharge) and they fittem him with special shoes. He said it was like having new feet... *pondering*
