My stepmom's feet do that. She was diagnosed with neuropathy and takes Lyrica for it. It seems to work for her but she also uses a salve with cbd in it too. I hope that helps you. Good luck.

@A MyFibroTeam Member yes, they've referred to Fibromyalgia as the dump all before....if they cant explain the symptoms or have never heard of the symptoms, just dump it on Fibro. But I do research all of my symptoms to see what else they could coincide with and look to see if there are other symptoms too that could point to a different health issue on top of Fibromyalgia. If I suspect something is up, I will ask my DR about it and get her opinion and sometimes we run test, sometimes not. I thank God for the resources available on the internet to be able to do the research, to learn what questions to ask, what signs to look for, and when to see a DR. I research my prescriptions as well. There is alot going on out there in the world that is not readily available knowledge to the public.. and we cant just trust everything we're told or handed. DRs are human and they make mistakes. We patients have to be our own advocates and take a role in our medical care. I posted an article yesterday about what we are told about prescription drugs and how safe (or unsafe) they are, that is a real eye opener. You should check it out.

I’m lucky enough that I have a dr who believes me and has dealt with fibro long enough to know it is bizarre and often unexplainable. On the flip side, any symptom I have, we both just assume it is a new fibro manifestation and never look into it anymore.

@A MyFibroTeam Member I have those exact same sharp pains in my feet. I can be standing in the check out line & all the sudden it feels like a sharp knife has sliced my foot wide open horizontally, or my toes will all feel like they have been crushed, or a sudden pain in a foot that feels like I'm being electrocuted & my ankle joints hurt so bad at times it feels like I'm walking on stumps. My DR didnt believe me at first about the foot burning & redness, so I the next time I felt it starting to happen, I took pictures w/my smartphone of the soles of my feet when they were normal looking & the top of my feet including ankle. After 10 minutes, the soles of my were bright red like they had been burned. I took pictures of that too & then again 3 hrs later when the redness disappeared. Each photo I took with my smartphone has details that shows the date & time the photo was taken. (If you swipe your finger over the photo vertically, it will show you the photo details, date/time/size.) I was able to capture the swelling in my feet & ankles too. I showed these photos to my DR showing proof of the time sequence. She now believes me & feels it must be related to Fibromyalgia. But, most of these DR's are dumbfounded when you can prove something really is happening because they dont have enough knowledge about Fibromyalgia. I think (I hope) some day enough proof will be gathered so that medical & scientific minds can see that this plight is real & people do suffer with it's symptoms & we arent making it up, we arent drug seekers, we arent hypochondriacs seeking attention. We ARE trying to survive each day w/the pain & symptoms that so many just people do not understand or choose not to believe are real.

Yep, and I was told by doc that it’s common in fibro patients. One of the many diverse symptoms of when good nerve systems go bad. Sometimes my feet will swell too. I also experience extreme foot pain (feels like walking on shards of glass).
