Foot Pain and Fibromyalgia?

Does anyone else experience foot pains with their fibro? That was actually one of my first symptoms. It feels like I am walking on hot glass. I have not found a lot of research on this associated with fibromyalgia. I think in some places they say it is Planter Fasciitis as a co-illness. I have been able to gain some comfort by adjusting some things:


1.) I bought a LAZY BOY CHAIR, and I love it! It really helps to be able to lean back and put my feet up and take the strain off of them.

2.) I have invested in a couple GOOD, SUPPORTIVE SHOES, I bought them from FootSmart.com, and the have some really cute AND comfy shoes!! I am quite happy with them! Still stylish AND my feet feel like walking on clouds instead of hot glass!

3.) I bought a Paraffin HOT WAX BATH ($30 at Bed Bath & Beyond, plus use ur 20% off coupon!) Homedics has a good one. When my feet really hurt I dip them in the hot wax 4 times or so, if feels sooooo good on my aching feet!

4.) I watch my daily activities and LIMIT MY STANDING. Anything over 5 minutes and I know I will encounter lasting pain.

I hope this helps. Has anyone else experienced foot pains with their fibro? And how to you treat it?
