Members with fibromyalgia widely confirmed experiencing toe and finger pain that feels deep in the bones, with many describing sensations like stiffness, swelling, cramping, and feeling as though bones are out of alignment or broken even when they aren't. Several members shared that their pain may stem from overlapping conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, bunions, or hammer toes, with some finding relief through foot stretches, massage with products like Blue Emu, and podiatry care, though one member strongly cautioned others to research podiatrists carefully after experiencing complications from bunion surgery that left lasting pain and mobility issues. A recurring theme was the unpredictable nature of the pain, ranging from barely noticeable to debilitating, and the frustration of not always knowing the root cause while trying to manage it day by day.

Someone mentioned having surgery. I would advise you to shop very carefully for a podiatrist. I did not. The original podiatrist was suppose to fix my bunions by breaking and resetting and all he did was shave off some bone. When I had to have surgery again because of the pain, that doctor set both of my big toes with pins. He set one stretched out and flat to the ground; the other one is bunched up and sits up off the floor. This causes the toe to grind into the top of shoes and even the most comfortable shoes to some are painful to me. A hot mess. His excuse? The previous doctor had excised too much bone and he had no choice. My feet are two different lengths and I can no longer wear close toe shoes unless they are flat , ugly,boxy work shoes. Really has curtailed the things I can wear. Now I can only stand for one hour and anything after that is sure to trigger an episode. Once your feet are out of alignment, everything is thrown off and painful. If I could go back, I would never have had that bunionectomy.

Now with all of the advantages we have with reviews and ratings available on the internet, please do your due diligence. It will definitely pay off in the long run.

Yes, my pinky toes feel stiff and swollen. Last year I had to go from size 7b to 7.5 ee. Some days very little pain. Others can barely walk. Also, my hands feel stiff and painful all day, but especially in the morning. Pain is worse in my left side

@A MyFibroTeam Member I get cramps in my hands and feet too. I can't straighten them. I had no idea why. It's been happening since I was a teenager. So I figure I've had Fibromyalgia since I was a child because I would tell the rheumatologist about how my joints burned and I was tired. Then they would get hot and red and my muscles would cramp and look deformed. Also, one time I got this huge knot in my had like the whole muscle had moved to the left side of my hand. It hurt so bad. It took hours for it to go down. I wish camera phones had been out them so we could've taken a picture of it. Really weird stuff happens.
