I, too, suffer from leg and feet pain especially in the afternoon from about 3:00 on. I haven't found any medicine that helps. I go to a PT that specializes in fibro once a week. If I don't miss any sessions, I get some relief.

Hi,

I have suffered from leg and feet pain as well as feet that are freezing or burning for no reason. My dr put me on neurontin and these symptoms have improved greatly.

Hope this helps.

I've gotten some relief from mat massagers, though it doesn't always work, I find it does at times reduce the pain. Also there are some really good Shiatsu messagers available at Amazon that I saw and have ordered to see if they actually live up to their name. A lot of time just wrapping my legs up in a heated towel and then icing them can have a very beneficial result.

And Teach, I'm glad to hear that you've found some FM specific PT. I also was lucky to try out PT that also involved massage which definitely improved my condition for small periods of time.
