If you have bartonella, does the entire sole of your foot hurt? Or is it just the flat portion of the heel?

Only my heels hurt. It is the flat part of the heel that you walk on. I wondered if this could be bartonella? I have heard only about soles hurting.

Everyday, my heels feel like I have walked 10 miles on concrete with no shoes. It hurts the same amount all day long, it does not get worse or better throughout the day.

Thanks.

I have terrible foot problems through Bart, so I fully understand what you are going through-the pain is unbearable.My pain is both on the tops of my feet and my heels.I am no expert but my understanding is that co infections have to be treated first.Hopefully your Lyme doctor will know exactly what to do.
Good luck !

I tested negative for Bart but I do think I have it. When my symptoms first started, the entire bottom of my feet hurt. It literally hurt to walk...especially when I first got up in the morning. Ouch!

hoosierlyme, I have Bart. & my feet hurt also. Mostly it's the soles & heels, but I also get planter fascitis(spelling?) on & off in both of my feet. That hurts like a you-know-what!!  I try to stretch my feet by pushing the heel away from me while pulling toes up towards me. It helps, but it wasn't until I bought arch inserts that my feet felt much better--if I forget to put them in b4 work, I can really feel the difference after work--not good. I got them at walMart for about 6 bucks for the pair.

Hi hoosierlyme

I've been just diagnosed with Bartonella and my heel was the only part of my foot that would hurt/burn. I just started my abx on Thursday and I can honestly that was one of the first symptoms that seem to get better right away.

I also have Bart and there are days that my feet hurt like crazy.

It's usually the bottoms. I work on my feet all day so when the end of the day comes I can barely walk. Of course the ankles don't help much, the hurt like most of my joints.

But I find that if I keep on trucking, lol, I can get thru the day but, boy oh boy, I pay for it at night.

Soak them and massaging help a lot.

When I'm standing or putting pressure on my feet, the pain is in my heels. If I'm just sitting, the whole foot throbs and burns. My guess it has something to do with blood flow?
