I have been having a lot of pain in my feet Harley sometimes feels like I can even stand on them but I've noticed recently my big toe has gone numb but I feel pain in it. Does anyone else have this issue?

Members connected over the shared experience of severe foot pain combined with numbness, with many describing burning sensations, swelling, and difficulty walking or standing. Several members shared potential causes and diagnoses they've received, including neuropathy, plantar fasciitis, bone spurs, Morton's neuroma, bunions, and gout, with practical suggestions ranging from seeing a podiatrist, getting uric acid levels checked, soaking feet in Epsom salts, to trying hot tub therapy. A recurring theme was the frustration of doctors dismissing symptoms and the challenge of pain existing alongside numbness, but members encouraged each other to advocate for proper testing and specialist care to find answers and relief.

Neuropathy is common in people with Fibro. Make sure you see a podiatrist & get your sugar checked as well. I believe these maybe side effects of Lyrica & Gabapentin as well. Pray you feel better & get the proper answer to your problem. Be blessed

Yes my feet are a big problem. Xray show a lot of changes in the bones. Maybe fibromyalgia or maybe osteoarthritis. Cannot tell. Do not have any answers. Sorry. I send healing thoughts and warm soft hugs

I have awful burning, throbbing pain in the soles of my feet that never lets up. No doctor has been able to help them. This has been going on since the '70s. I hope you can find relief.
