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

[Guest guest]

I agree - I gave my pod. the chance to treat the fibro and the neuropathy and he

referred me out both times. Heck with that!

Kristy,

I don't see what a podiatrist can do other than treat any foot/ankle issues. Of

course tell him you have it but I don't think he can do anything for it.

A further question in relation to foot pain and Fibromyalgia

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.

I guess I 'could' go back and tell him they hurt too much - but he made me mad

referring me out twice LOL.

My foor doctor gave me some softer bendable orthotics. He doesn't believe in

the hard ones. I say hurray. They hurt like the devil.

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.

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.

,

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...........
