Members overwhelmingly confirmed that burning sensations in the feet, hands, and even scalp are common fibromyalgia flare symptoms, with many describing the pain as so intense it brings them to tears or makes them avoid anything touching their skin. Several members shared practical relief strategies, including CBD oil and bath bombs, cool water or cold compresses, guaifenesin-containing products like Mucinex, the Quell device for nerve pain, and medications such as gabapentin, Lyrica, and oxycodone. A recurring theme was the connection between fibromyalgia and peripheral neuropathy, with members emphasizing that these burning sensations are real, manageable with the right combination of treatments, and a reminder that no one experiencing this pain is alone.

Hello Angela yes you can have the burning in you feet/hands I have dealt with this at times of flares also I get the feeling in the bottom of my feet like I’ve walked on glass and the slicing my feet.
I’ve have been using CBD oil really takes my pain away or when I’m having a severe flare I soak in the tub with a CBD bath bomb I hope this helps you

Oxycodone and Percocet are the same thing and oxycodone helps me a lot with fibro, migraines and arthritis. I try not to take it often, but currently I have to have it until I adjust to the new level of pain since I fractured my back.

@A MyFibroTeam Member yes I take Oxycodone or Oxycocet and it has been a life saver for me! That and Lyrica help me unbelievably! I know twice over the years I’ve thought Lyrica was doing nothing for me so I decided to cut back slowly til i was free of it. Both times, by the time I got down to only 1 pill a day, I was in so much pain I couldn’t stand it and increased it again. I swear if my doctor ever takes away my percs as well, I may as well just commit myself cause I won’t be able to handle the pain I’m in!! I know Percocet should not help with fibro pain, but it sure does for me!!!
