pain in base of feet

[fms sufferer]

I have been suffering from fms for 11 years, and have been on many types of medication, and many doctors without experience in this field, i am now under a great hospital doctor, however he cannot even explain why i am getting excessive pain on the outside base of both feet. Is there anyone else who suffers from this problem? any advise to share?

Hi , I have lived with CFS and Fibro for almost 19 years , 3 years ago I started to get the pain in my feet you are describing , got worse , then went to what felt like electricity in my feet then anchles , then in legs . Kept spreading the longer I had it. I have the best CFS doctor in the country , world renouned , and still no help. Finally I asked to see a foot doctor . Was told it wouldn't help !!  Wrong .  Went to foot doctor , I needed orthotics , and It helped alot !!!!!!!!  CFS and Fibro , both have similar problems , that the muscle is no longer supporting the bone structure, and feet go first , they do the most work , and it will feel like your walking on the bones , with no cushoning at all. Try a good podiatrist " foot doc " did me a world of good .   Hope this helps.

this was one of the first signs that i had fibromyalgia last year, and it is the first sign this time too, which is a shame because i am not looking forward to what is on the way.  

i have no idea why they are so painful, but some days it's hard to walk.
