Fibro in left foot

[joed]

Does anyone suffer with violent pain on the top part of their foot the bone really hurts I was told this is a trigger point for fibro I have had this before a couple of times and it has only lasted 2/3days but this time after taking meds and using biofreeze on it it isn't getting any better I can hardly walk its that painful any suggestions welcomed thank you joanne

Could it be due to plantar faciitis or a ganglion I wonder?

I agree with you that it could be plantar fasciitis, I currently have this in my left foot. It is very painful - this is the third time I have had this.

Hi joed I have this a lot & had for years on & off, I've had it so bad on occasion I've had to hang it outside of bed because can't stand cover being on it, cold flannel hanging over it. It feels like a tight band pressing on top bone, so i know exactly how you feel. As you say, it's hard to walk. But I also have nerve damage & arthritis as well as Fibro, so i always put it down to a bit of both. I only usually get for a few days & then it's onto the next thing lol the joys..

Soak in hot water & then a very gentle rub with lotion eases it a bit but like you, when it gets like that, nothing much stops it hurting tbh. Have you got a pain gel, I use movelat cream & that helps a bit too.

Also can try magnesium oil and/or magnesium tablets.

Hi Joed

I have this pain too, I didn't know it was one of the trigger points, I was wondering if it was rheumatoid arthritis?. It has started to interfere with my walking, even though I have really good support shoes and recently bought arch supports to see if they help, I think they do a little.

I also use biofreeze and have magnesium oil spray. I find d soaking in Himalayan/Epsom salt helps. My foot has recently started tingling too along bottom of foot,which is a weird feeling.

Hoping you find something which works for you soon.

There are some online videos advising on treatment and exercises for plantar faciitis.

Hi joed

I really am so genuinely sorry to read this my friend, and I also think it may be plantar fasciitis? I have pasted below an excerpt form the WebMD cache on this issue:

*What are the symptoms of plantar fasciitis?

*The symptoms of plantar fasciitis include:

Pain in the bottom of your foot, especially at the front or centre of the heel bone

Pain that is worse when first rising in the morning (called "first-step pain"), when first standing up after any long period of sitting, or after increased levels of activity especially in non-supportive shoes

I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck and please take care of yourself my friend.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Hmmmmm. My neighbour - who also has Fibro, described a similar pain in her left foot last year. It turned out to be GOUT!!!! It still comes and goes - she's on NSAIDs and swears by Apple Cider Vinegar.

I have fibromyalgia and I have pain in my feet it varies with pain and I have been told I have artritus in them by the hospital

I also had this on the top of my left foot, i now have hospital prescribed insoles, they took a mould of my feet and the difference is amazing, the pain went days after starting to use them in all my shoes and slippers
