Hi Sharon I get this a lot especially when I am flaring. Actually I can tell when I am physically flaring because my feet are very sore. My feet will hurt constantly. At first I thought it was neuropathy but I kept thinking it was odd because I didn't have other symptoms of neuropathy. I then realized it must be different. When my friend who has fibromyalgia mentioned it as a problem I did my own research and like many symptoms it came right up as a symptom of fibromyalgia. People with fibromyalgia are likely to to experience trouble with their hands and feet because our nerve ending stop there so the pain gets amplified there as it has no other place to move to. Plus your feet and hands normally take a lot of regular pressure. I'm sure everyone is different and responds to different treatments. When mine gets tough I use arnica pain relief cream on them. It takes the edge off so I can move forward. I know what you are going through. It hurts. I understand. I'll have to do more research on it, if I find anything that might be beneficial I will let you know. I wish you the best.

Fibromyalgia pain and sensations can be described in many ways, including:
Thank you all for responding to my numbing feet question. It's good to know I'm not alone.
There are so many strange fibro symtoms we are all dealing with.
Yes, sadly, but I also have neuropathy along with the fibro amongst other things that cause it.
Sharon, I experience the same. The soles & toes are numb & it feels like I’m walking on rolled up socks.
