Re: A further question in relation to foot pain and Fibromyalgia-Jill

[Guest guest]

Jill,

I'm somewhat familiar with Plantar Fasciitis as to what it is

but I have a question for you if you don't mind.

What is it about the fibro that creates this problem? I'm

always wanting to be aware since we know that fibro can cause so

many problems.

Kristy,

Actually, I have no idea why fibro people tend to get PF. I've seen several

dr.'s including podiatrists and they all told me it is common. I've seen it in

a couple of books too....can't remember which ones. One guess on my part is

that it is common in people who are overweight(I'm not saying everyone one with

fibro is overweight) and in people who have long periods of inactivity and then

over activity. So, when we rest during our flare-ups and then over do when we

have good days probably contributes to it. Also, if can be caused by limping or

favoring another part of the body that puts extra strain and misalignment on

your body. I've been going to the Fibro and Fatigue Center and here are a few

other things that they have said is common in fibro people:

low blood pressure

low body temperature

blood clotting issues

no or hard to read fingerprints (mine are gone)

canker/mouth sores

teary eyes

I have all of these.....there are a bunch more but my brain is not working right

now. If I think of them, I'll post them later.

Jill - when did you order yours? I ordered mine - what Saturday night so it

takes like a week? I can't wait. My orthotics were $400 also but the insurance

picked it up 100% - good thing LOL

hugs

Did you read the reviews on heelspurs.com on the Pinnacle Power Step? Most

people liked it better then their expensive orthotics. I'm hoping they work that

well for me because I can't afford custom orthotics and I know I would HATE them

if they were hard! Hopefully, we will love our PPS!!!!!!!!!!! Mine should arrive

today...........

Re: A further question in relation to foot pain and Fibromyalgia

I have been under the care of a podiatrist for a few years now. He knows I have

fibro and he is the one who first diagnosed the neuropathy.

He, however, referred me to a neurologist and then said I may have PED and

referred me to a cardio-vascular guy. I called them - they asked me symptoms and

they said no - that is not PED - that is neuropathy.

He also fitted me with ne orthotics - but they are hard as a rock and I cannot

wear them. They kill me - so - I only go to him for foot things.

hugs

Hi everyone,

With the discussion going on as of late about foot pain

connected to Fibromyalgia and comfortable shoes I have a

question for you.

Is anyone on the list under the care of a Podiatrist for these

issues? I'm under the care of a Podiatrist for a different

reason but will explain why I'm asking.

The reason I ask is because I saw on a Podiatry related website

where they talked about fibromyalgia and it led me to a question

so thought I would ask here too before I see my Podiatrist on

Wed.

How does a Podiatrist help fibro patients? The reason I'm

asking this is because since I'm going to be under the care of

one for a long time to come due to the other issues I'm

wondering if I should have him try to help me with my fibro from

this point only along with what my rheumatologist and Pain

Management doctors do for me.

1. While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as

to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. Some

treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain

health conditions or just dangerous in general.

2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be

afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation

better.

3. To unsubscribe the e-mail is:

Fibromyalgia_Support_Group-unsubscribe

4. Also, it is not uncommon for more than one member to be feeling bad at the

same time when it comes to flares and b/c of that potentially take something

another member says the wrong way. And that includes the things that one member

may find funny (even if it's laughing at fibro itself) even though we who deal

with illness whether one such as fibro or multiple illnesses try to keep a sense

of humor.

5. Pls let's be gentle with each other, and if you are having a bad day pls let

us know so that we can do our best to offer our support.

Have a nice day everyone.
