That's how my Fibromygia started in one toe

I know exactly what you're talking about! I have neuropathy in my hands and feet and it often feels like there are sticks and leaves or cloth like socks in my sandals, poking my toes and feet. Neuropathy is defined as pain, tingling and numbness. My neurologist prescribes gabapentin to help with the strange feelings.

I had this problem start last night! I thought something was stuck to my toe and making it feel odd so I kept sitting to see if I could a) reach my toe and b) remove whatever it was. Each time nothing. Then it happened to my other foot! NO! Ahem... this time it was actual cellophane!!! Made me laugh. Although could do without the other one being real.

Hi Bella17

I am so genuinely sorry to read this and I have pasted you an excerpt from the *EveryDay Health website about this issue:

*When Fibromyalgia Affects Your Feet

*This chronic condition can cause pain right down to your toes. Here's how to ease those aching tootsies.

*Fibromyalgia treatment should extend from the top of your head to the tips of your toes — literally. Although feet are not the location most likely to experience fibromyalgia pain, in a recent paper published in the journal Arthritis Research and Therapy, about half of the 202 patients with fibromyalgia studied reported foot problems.

“Compensation for foot pain leads to pain in the knees, hips, and lower back,” says Dennis Frisch, DPM, a podiatrist in private practice in Boca Raton, Fla. If you’re already coping with fibromyalgia symptoms, this is added pain that you don’t need. Plus, foot pain increases the risk that you will fall and have an injury or simply be less active than you might want to be.

Chances are, with fibromyalgia you are aware of pain that other people just ignore. “In general, because people with fibromyalgia have higher sensitivity to pain and lower pain tolerance, they are more sensitive to pain everywhere,” says Dr. Frisch. In fact, experts believe that at least one in four people has foot pain, but many, if not most, simply don’t get treatment.

*Reconnecting the Dots

*There are also common sources of foot pain that aren't directly connected to fibromyalgia but may be intensified by having this condition. One example is Morton’s neuroma, a benign enlargement of a nerve that causes tingling and shooting pain between the third and fourth toes. This unpleasant condition can be treated with cortisone shots or surgery.

Plantar fasciitis is also a common source of foot pain. With this condition, the soft connective tissue under the foot becomes inflamed and sore. It is often the result of bad choices in footwear. Choosing a supportive arch may help prevent the pain.

If this issue persists or gets any worse I would discuss it with your doctor just to have other medical conditions ruled out of the equation my friend, Please take care of yourself.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken
