Members validated the experience of severe foot and ankle pain with fibromyalgia, with many describing burning sensations, tenderness on top of the feet, ankle weakness, and worsening symptoms at night. Several members shared practical strategies that have helped, including wearing supportive trainers or lightweight boots with ankle support, using custom insoles from a physical therapist, applying castor oil wraps or essential oils like clove, wearing compression socks, and always keeping feet covered with socks or slippers to reduce sensitivity and pain. A recurring theme was the frustration of how foot pain changes the way people walk and limits daily activities, met with compassionate encouragement and the hope that others find relief soon.

You betcha for years. Burning tingling on the bottom of my feet at bedtime. My right ankle burns and aches always . Lot of discomfort. I do a castor oil rap on it. It eases it up for awhile or I mix 1 or 2 drops of cloves essential oil with a carrier oil and rub it in. Vick vapour rub helps too also medistik. Darn nerves can cause us so much grief. I’m sure you’ll find something to ease it up. A compression sock also helps. Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D deficiency can also contribute to this.

Hi Trevor, I get pain on the top of my feet, and restless feet at the same time. They ache a lot, which has caused a marked change in the way I walk, and with that, I get ankle pain 😟. I hope your pains lessen. It's rotten!!💖

My feet are very sensitive. I do not go barefoot at all. I have to always have a sock, slipper or light weight shoe on. In the house I almost always have socks and slippers on. If I walk barefooted I will end up with my feet hurting so much that I can't get comfortable. I have neuropathy in my toes as well. Also little to no padding on and around my bunion on both feet. Which makes it hard to sleep too. I'm a side sleeper and with that my foot lays with the bunion touching the bed and it's very painful. I have a bunion pad the loops around my big toe to keep the pad in place. I now add another other that slides over my foot and big toe like a half sleeve with additional padding at the bunion area. I do this with both feet. It doesn't take all the pain away but it definitely helps enough so I can get some sleep. Foot pain is horrible. I pray you get some relief soon. 💖🙏💖

Hi Trevor, yes I do I have inner soles from the physio 2 different types. He told me to wear no heels, flat shoes ect
Only to wear trainers or light weight boots with a lot of ankle support. I have a hard pair which kinda tilt at the heel and really soft and thick pair. See of you can get some from your doctor
