[diane63]

[jazher]

Hi Diane,

Yes i have sore feet and ankles all the time. When i first went to the docs that was my first thing i told them.

They really hurt when i get out of bed and they are killing me right now.

On morning i tried to stand up out of bed and i couldnt put my weight on my left foot at all, it was the most painful thing i actually cried. I was absolutly miffed and the doctors said i must have an infection and gave me antibiotics.

They didnt help and two weeks later i still couldnt walk on it properly but it was easing.

I think it was about three weeks before it felt anybetter.

I hope this never happens again.

Hi Diane, Yes i also have this problem with my ankles and feet when getting up in the morning. My feet feel like they are on fire but the more i walk on them the better it gets for some reason, but saying that if i am on them all day they are equally painful.

[starblaze]

Hi Diane.....thats exactly what I get...the feeling is unbearable! X

Hi Diane, yes I get the same problem, if I sit too long or walk too far I end up with really stiff and painful feet. Its embarrasing when you are out and staggering about like a crab but hey, its all part of fibro. Getting comfy shoes is a nightmare especially as I have really small feet.xx

Good to see you.

Same as all the others I have real difficulty standing and walking in the morning. It eases quite quickly though.

I so hope that researchers and doctors are taking notes on this site.

Best wishes xx

Ang01, I also have problems with my feet, the they are very painful but my ankles dont hurt at all. I have found Hotter the best for shoes and boots. Check them out.

kind regards,

Hi Diane

My feet hurt 24/7, they are either on fire or freezing. I have flat feet and osteoarthritis in them as well. I have a real problem with footwear but in endless search have found "Alegria by PG Lite" to be a very comfy shoe with removable insoles if you have to wear orthotics. I have little movement in my ankles as well.

Hi Diane , Yes Yes, Yes, its good to know that I am not the only one. (not that i want others to suffer) just that sometimes i wonder if its part of fibro or just me.

My feet and ankles really hurt me, also really stiff when i get up and if i have been sitting still for a while. My ankles feel really weak, i also have a funny walk. But when i get going it eases. High heels have been a complete no no i am only short ( & dumpy) think heels can do wonders, however the next few days i could hardly walk.

Lou,

I am short and dumpy too lol.

High heels are a nono too and i have some lovely ones.

Also i too get stiff when i sit for long periods, i constantly have to keep changing my position and getting up, but also look very strange trying to walk at first lol, I feel about 90 when i do it.

[Katybird]

Yes, yes and yes. Try buying shoes a half or 1 size too large, which lace up all the way down, then you can adjust the shoe each day so that it doesn't constrict your foot. Then add an innersole for extra comfort. Check that your socks are not too constricting as well, tights can be really be bad on the feet and ankles. If you have someone willing, get them to massage your feet as often as; painful to start but bliss getting out all those little pockets of pain.

I hope this helps, I know it does me.

Hi all. Yes painful ankles first thing in the morning too.I walk like I got 2 wooden legs,lol. I also suffer with burning feet,mainly toes.But not sure if its Fibro or Arthritis.Bit of both i suppose.I also get shooting pains in my feet.I had to give up wandering around the shops in town ages ago.My feet just cant take it.Or any other part of my body.Totally shattered in no time.Thank goodness for Ebay,lol

[Artyrosie]

I don't experience the burning or stiffness others have described, but I do get a lot of pain in my heels/ball of foot and in my ankles. If I want to walk beyond the house I wear trainers with very thick soles or similar - ugly but it does the job. Recently got some Fit Flop sandals and they are BRILLIANT!

[Ang01]

Thanks for the tips on shoes, will look out for the Hotter shoes. Have tried shoes a little bit too big but find that if my feel slip back and forth this makes the soreness worse. I wear trainers a lot too and find them comfy. Have thought about the fit flops but have stopped wearing this kind of shoe as me toes get stiffer after walking in them too.

Thank god for slippers! xx

Could be plantar facitsis which is inflammation of the ligaments running from the toes to the heels. I Have that and empathise with you. Haven't found a solution just dread getting up every morning until my bladder wins then I hobble and roll and grab furniture in a tortured dance which would win no competition. I have even had cortisone injections which didn't help either, sounds like another one you learn to live with....

[diane63]

[diane63]

[Border-Reiver]

I've just joined this site and it's such a relief to hear that other people have the same aches and pains. I have terrible pain in my feet and ankles first thing in the morning or if I've been sat for a while. xx

[bluebell10]

yes my feet,ankle & legs hurt all the time & are really stiff when i first get up i walk like a robot lol,even now my feet are sore & so are my legs but my thighs burn more than my calves do & thats through doing nothing,walking out is unbearable after a couple of minutes so is standing! its almost impossible i get some right strange looks when im out,the back of my foot hurts weirdly after ive been sitting for a while but i have to sit with my legs up xx

[mattoid-mags]

Oh yes, feet, ankles,calves, knees and hips always. Left hip and left ankle constantly swollen. When I get up to walk I can feel the bones in my feet crack after I have been sitting for a while, such a weird and yucky sensation. Bluebell I feel the same when I'm out walking, look like John Wayne after a fortnights cattle run lol and because I have to keep stopping, it's embarrassing!!

[nanaber]

My feet were the same I have since been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis and as someone else said the fitflop sandals were great during the summer for now I have to do stretching exercises every morning before I can stand. I also have insoles for my shoes that I ware during the winter.

[Chris0987 in reply to nanaber]

Hi nanaber your comment was most helpful. I am an active male, a young 41 yr old with tendinitis I think in my achilles that ache every morning. Is your stretching helping and are you disciplined at it every morning? My inner soles are helping me. I just started yoga recently and I think I have excacabated my soreness but enjoy the yoga anyway so will continue but shouldn't over do it though. I walk round the block usually 5 days per week, I used to jog which I very much enjoy but have had to stop this. Hope the pain does not get worse as we get older. C
