What Kind Of Doctor To See
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I'm experiencing a lot of pain in the heel area, top of foot and toes. I don't know if I have achilles tendon issues or if its the fibromyalgia and am asking for suggestions about what kind of doctor to see. The pain doctor who gives me meds for fibromyalgia, a physical therapist, or orthopedist. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

Go to your PCP first. They can determine if you perhaps need a podiatrist, an orthopedist or a rheumatologist.
Tell them everything; even the little, possibly insignificant stuff. That will help determine if they can help you or get you a referral to one of the above.
