 [b]I am getting this bad sensation in my feet that started about approx a month ago. Its a prickly, burning , tingling, throbbing feeling. Its also in my hands, along with a wierd sensation in my ears that makes sound more intense. All three came on at the same time. I had a CBC and b 12 test but came back fine. I am on thyroid med for under active, but tested ok on that too. My doc said I watch too much tv and said I was over reacting and its probably fibro or anxiety. He did call for another test (with the remark: just to make you happy) cause he didn't have an answer for me and even got mad. I am due for an MRI of the brain June 4th but its an Open MRI with no dye. I know that test isn't that accurate cause it missed my herniated disc in my neck but a closed MRI with contrast caught it, so I got a feeling the test will come back saying nothing is wrong, but I won't be happy cause of the type of test. But I am over reacting and can't say anything to the doc. So I was wondering if any one has experienced anything similar cause its driving me crazy!

Thanks

sincerely

Kari

 I get them too. I would cancel the test, it's just going to cost you a bundle and not get accurate results anyway. It's frustrating when the doctors won't even listen to you. Maybe try getting a second opinion from another doctor if you can. I take Omega's to battle this too.

 I think a lot of us have those feelings especially in our feet but I know others have them in their hands. I agree with BLB- and she's a nurse BTW- if your doctor makes you uncomfortable talking about your symptoms either he/she doesn't know much about fibro, doesn't want to know etc. With all the crazy symptoms this disorder brings on although it's hard- try to find someone who you can talk with about them. Stress might be making it worse but I'm sick of doctors who think that we have lots of control over all our stress responses that affect our fibro. Most people with fibro are stressed and for obvious reasons!

 HI Kari, I found your note very interesting as I too suffer severly with pain,tingling,burning in my feet. It has gotten so bad that I walk on the insides of my feet, my knees are practically knocked together and I have to walk with a cane. This started with me about 4 yrs. ago and it is getting progessively worse. I have been to a foot Dr. who told me I had arthritis in my feet, then he told me I have fallen arches and that surgery would possibly correct this however I would still have limited motion in my feet! It's very frustrating because no one seems to know what is causing this severe pain. It usually takes me anywhere from 15-20 mins. just to get out of bed and stand on my feet. I recently had a nerve test done and am just waiting for the results. It's interesting to me that so many of us with fibro have this foot pain. It's never even been brought up by my Dr. The rhemutologist that I seen did a biopsy on my legs because they would swell up to about 3x their normal size, get beet red and very hot. They didn't know what was causing it, sent it over to an OB/GYN (because the swelling seemed to happen around that time of the month) so the OB/GYN said it was edema due to my "cycle", but then it was happening all the time and everyone told me to just go home and put my feet up, stay off of them as much as possible...yea ok, that really flys well with a family. So I guess I'm trying to find out if anyone else has this foot problem thats this extreme. Thanks.

 I have been experiencing a lot of foot, ankle, and calf pain for the past 9 months. After sitting down for a brief time, I can hardly get up out of the chair to stand on my feel. The heels are so sore. Today my left ankle hurt terribly. I do get a weekly massage to help with this pain and all over my body as well. It's a great help, along with taking all nutricuticals instead of pharmacuticals. I've even begun a alternative treatment for my anemia. Being on vacation made it difficult to get the rest that I needed and I can so tell the difference in my body.

 I have foot pain that I was starting to wonder if it was fallen arches because the bottom of my foot feels like it is pulling and burns alot. I also get numbness in my toes on both feet. To go along with that I have numbness and tingling in fingers and ringing in ears. (I thought someone had mentioned that) my doc just gave me antibiotics because I had alot of fluid in my ears but it didnt take care of the ringing.

 I also have the burning feet, ringing in the ears and the tingling in the hands, arms, legs and feet. I also get the feeling that my hands are going to explode, they feel so tight and painful. I think it is something that goes along with the fibro along with everything else.

 Good morning everyone! Wow, I'm so glad that I asked about the "foot" problem. I am definitely going to bring this up to my Dr. when I go see her next week. She did put me on Lyrica a few months ago but I was totally "fogged" right out between that and the other meds I take. A friend of mine who has recently been diagnosed with fibro has been getting some info together for me on alternative solutions instead of narcotics(she can't take narcotics) one of the things that she told me to try is oil of oregano. She swears by it, says that she rubs it on her painful site and within 15mins. she can feel relief. I have yet to try it as I have tried other natural remedies only to still have the pain and no relief at all. One other thing I would like to ask everyone is, does anyone live near gas/oil wells? We have so many of them in our area and another friend has done extensive research on the emissions from the wells and alot of our symptoms are all side effects from these emissions. What is really ironic is that my husband works for the gas company and he has for the last 10 yrs. which is when I started having alot of symptoms. He doesn't believe that any of my friends research holds any value, and that all of my problems are not related to gas and oil wells and all crap that is emitted into our air. I have 4 wells within a 5 mile radius of where we live. It's hard to talk to him about this because he does know about the sour gas and that it can be deadly, but he says that the company that he works for constantly checks the emissions level because it is required by the state and the DNR. I don't know it's just too weird and too ironic does anyone relate to this? Thanks again Kari for bringing the foot problem up and thanks to everyone who responded along with myself...as angelbooze put it it's just something that goes along with the fibro. Talk to you all soon, I hope!
