Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 THERE ARE OTHER THINGS THAN NEUROPATHY THAT CAN CAUSE THE FOOT PAIN. MINE IS LINKED TO SCIATIC NERVE DAMAGE. THE BACK SURGERY DIDN'T SOLVE THAT PROBLEM. THERE IS ALSO SOMETHING CALLED REFLEX SYMPATHETIC DYSTROPHY THAT SEEMS TO LOVE TO ATTACK THE FEET. PERIPHERAL NERVES, WHICH ARE YOUR HANDS AND FEET, CAN HAVE ABNORMAL SENSITION, BURNING, FEEL COLD OR HOT, AND BE RELATED TO FIBROMYALGIA.Lucy <lucyo@...> wrote: I also have the neuropathic type foot-pain that started with the fibro. Havebeen tested, no diabetes.Because fibromyalgia is at least part a neurological condition, it wouldbe logical that we could have neuropathic pain. Here is a link to anarticle where a physician talks about that. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/538562Hope everybody's feeties feel better.Lucy --- southernyankee7457 <southernyankee7457 >wrote:> Is is common for people with FM to have burning,> painful feet?
