Yes, I have heel pain (which is a totally different sensation than Plantar Fasciitis, as I used to have that too)...This is pain, burning and tenderness in the heel when I have to stand for long periods. And I also have this: heelspurs.com/bbs/bbt.cgi?n=175843 (it's not a heel spur, but is somehow nerve-related)...It's worst at night, and has kept me awake (or woken me up) on many occasions.

Just looking for a relationship between fibro and heel pain as I have just experienced the worst 2 days of continual pain in my right heel. Pain killers take the edge off but I am now walking on the balls of my feet to avoid the pain caused when I walk on my heel. Its so bad now that the muscles in my legs are also tight and sore. The pain leaves me feeling drained and unable to concentrate on work. I was beginning to think their may be something more wrong with me other than the fibro until I saw your comment. They did find early stages of arthritis in this foot but this sounds too painful and localised. I am not sure how long the pain will last as only 2 days ago I had a painful chest/sternum relieved somewhat with hot compresses - chostochondritis another symptom of fibro. Hope this helps put things together. Marea g

Has anyone found a remedy or perhaps just a pill for the really debilitating brain fog one experiences with fibro. its really embarrassing and recently I have also developed this slurred speech type thing. this is worse since I am a teacher and most often the kids think I am joking with them but its getting pretty bad so that I have to really concentrate hard and often find I have to repeat what I want to say just to get it right. Really annoying help Marea g

I have heel pain off and on that's so bad I can't walk properly. It usually goes away after a week or so--in fact it started again this morning. Hope it disappears again. Has nothing to do with shoes, I am barefoot 100% of the time...but I do have slippers with very thick lambswool lining which I will now have to put on and cross my fingers...

Hi ,I have had had fms for 5 years now and YES it can cause heel pain. ouch ouch ouch. sometimes i cant even walk on my heels , i have to tiptoe around. gentle massage or soaking them inwarm water for a while can maybe help . I dont slle either (which i have to say is a very common fact about fms) I'm on a sleeping tablet called Zopiclone which i find does help to get some well needed sleep. Hoope some of that might help good luck Carla

I have fibromyalgia and developed severe heal pain, which was plantar fascitis. While on a trip to ME I found out about a Dr. in yarmouth ME who has a treatment for plantar fascitis. It's a long story about how I found this info but essentially went home told my dr about this, she tried to find a dr around who did the treatment and ended up referring me to Dr. Herzog in yarmouth ME. Thank God for him, he is my hero as far as the plantar fascitis is concerned I was wasted so much money in the past on PT, inserts, shoes, etc. Do a google search for him or his treatment which is "Ultrasound Guided Trephination Procedure" for plantar fascitis. I have told many people about him, I know of two in my hometown who have made the trip to see him and been estatic with the half hour office procedure. I get nothing from him for the above info, I just want to help others out who have this horrible pain. Good luck!

JR- You should rule out bone spurs, but the entire bottom of both my feet hurt. When I have a flare up, simply standing is painful and getting out of bed or standing after sitting for a while is very difficult and slow. I bought very comfortable platform sandals to wear in the house all day long. I experimented with exercise ones, but my legs could not take that. The ones that help are two inches under my toe and three under my heel. It does not eliminate the problem, but does help at the end of the day.
