FYI .. I found something that helps the burning sensation in my feet, at least long enough to get to sleep... it's a spray called " Pain Spray" it's fdor temporary relief of minor aches and pain. It contains Mentol 7% as the main ingredient. It does not take all the burning away, but it makes it tolerable until I can sleep. :)

@A MyFibroTeam Member Personally Kaylene I think that once this affects your feet you are in for a whole lot of issues. The nerves end or start at your feet and your hands, with the walking on your feet would cause aggravation that is inescapable because you need to walk. Try to soak your feet in Epsom salts and then put some ice on them for twenty minutes. It should calm them down for a while. Gentle hugs
Lidocaine may help
I have used a blanket lfter to keep the bedding off my feet and legs.
