Does anyone have foot pain that makes you want to scream? Burning, stabbing, shooting, feeling like the bones in your feet are all out of socket? What is a person to do when you still have to carry on at work and life in general?

Members rallied around someone describing intense foot pain with burning, stabbing sensations and feelings of bones being out of socket, with the overwhelming consensus being that these symptoms sound like peripheral neuropathy, a nerve condition often linked to fibromyalgia. Several members shared practical relief strategies including soaking feet in Epsom salts with essential oils, applying Voltaren or Diclofenac gel, gently rolling a ball under the arch of the foot, wearing specialized Voxx socks, and reducing sugar intake, though many noted these provide only temporary relief rather than a cure. A recurring theme was the frustration of being told to rest when life demands continue, the challenge of not knowing if feet will work after sitting, and the validation that comes from others truly understanding this invisible daily struggle.

I had those same symptoms for 9 months. I realized it felt like neuropathy, so I decreased my sugar intake and it went away.

Most ailments such as planter fasciitis, rest less legs, arthritis, are just a few of the Fibromyalgia symptoms which are all started from the nervous system becoming damaged somewhere along your life. Damaged could be from a fall, stress, having a pinched nerve. Stress is one of the biggest factors in this game of life with Fibro and therefore it becomes a neuropathic issue. I even have Tinnitus which is a ringing in the ear, caused from nerves being damaged. So I hope the information you have received from everyone is helpful.

Omg I've been 15 months going mad with the same in my right foot. I've had scanned x rays nothing. Now they are saying may be connected to a spine problem πŸ˜“πŸ˜“πŸ˜“

CynthiaCrowe. It is not planter fascitis. I have no pain anywhere near my heels. Most of my pain is on the top of my feet, joints at the foot and toe and in my toes. Dr's have sent me for orthotics and I have spent thousands on them but my feet never change.
