i suposse to have fibro...got told last year i think in november.sence this year january i havent been able to work.right now i am on unpaid dissability leave.most of you know my story any way for the last few weeks or month's my hands and feet don't only hurt they burn like they on fire.anybody else that has fibro expirienced that?

I have many symptoms for many illnesses but this is one I do not have. Sorry wish I could be more helpful. You should report all new symptoms to your doctor.

hey mammy,

thanks for your reply.i go see a rheumodoc soon,i was just wondering if any one else had that type of symptom

who has fibro

I don't currently have this problem but I have had it in the past. I was told it was a sign of reflex sympathetic dystrophy which, for me, was triggered by slamming my right foot into a wall. At first they thought I had broken my big toe but later I was told it was just jammed really badly. I began having the burning sensation in my foot after a few days and it hurt to have anything touch the foot. And then after some time (can't remember how long now) the other foot started having the same burning pain (was told it was nerve pain). The pain in my right foot was going up my leg to my knee. I was put on a really high dose of Lyrica for several months and that stopped the nerve pain. I don't know whether you've had any kind of injury but I know from personal experience that an injury to one extremity can trigger RSD and then it can spread to other extremities that haven't been injured. Be sure to tell your doc if you've had any injuries to any of your extremities or that may have triggered this. I'm no doctor and I want to be sure you know that but even if you've had no injury, please please mention this to your doc since it sounds a lot like nerve pain to me.

My very best wishes to you! I hope you can find something that helps.

Yes, I've have the burning on the bottoms of my feet, but not my hands. My skin used to feel like I had a severe sunburn, but that is gone now.

I have had the burning with the tingling and numbness, mostly in my hands. The Cymbalta really helped with the burning and tingling. Good luck at the rheumy appt.

thanks tracy,

a while ago i had the same feeling going up my neck ,one side and into my face,one side,weird feeling.is still there a little in my face,but my hands and the rest of my body is a #9 right now.

I have the burning, tingling and numbness on the outside of my right thigh. It can feel like a there is a hot plate resting on the side of my leg that is about maybe 8 inches high to 3-4 inches across. I also get a feeling of a needle being slowly pushed through my heel. I sometimes also have the sensation of cold water running down my leg. Very strange things.

I have the burning feeling mostly on my face, neck and shoulders. And recently my feet, that have always been frozen like ice, have had very hot and tingly moments, sometimes days, then it passes

Aww honey, I'm sorry. That must be terrible on top of everything else. my feet are almost always warmer than they ever used to be but my fingers are like ice...so I run around barefooted with hand warmers on...I wear my T shirts inside out and the lables cut off and only wear job bras because anything else is too uncomfortable...

If I were to go out in public they would take me in believing I was a senile old lady.....

my situation is funny and I share it only to bring a smile, because I can only imagine what having hot extremes would be like-went through menopause a few years ago and it was extreme,

so i can only imagine how uncomfortable you are and pray thhat this symptom passes quickly for you, in this heat who needs it?!
