No-then it is not heel spurs...could be you bruise your foot or it could be another one of our fibro symptoms.......there are soooo many things that can hurt and feet are one of them!!! Try looking up ball of foot pain then on the web....maybe that will tell you something....

Ed -I get them at the end of my toes and I know how bad it hurts. Even the sides of my feet ache so bad but my husband is so kind - when he rubs the massager over my back, he'll even use it on my feet and I swear I'm in Heaven!!!

Hi Ed... I tend to be a believer that if the pain is "different" in character then normal like this then it would probably be wise to see a doctor if it continues... i guess this goes for a lot of symoptoms for many of us... i had another condition masked by fibro and it will also be a concern now that there might be more going on that we are selves or doctors miss and just blame on fibro... i also have foot pain that is fibro, but it can never hurt to ask if it continues.. blessed be lizEd <e.critchley@...> wrote: Thanks for that info.Fibro pain is unusual for me as I suffer more with CFS, bar my thumb joint, and occassional arm pains, this is unusual.

I have seen far too many fibromites that blame all their pain and problems on fibro when in reality it is something else. I had 2 Drs that kept saying increase in my pain was fibro, when in reality it turned out I had polymyalgia rhuematica and giant cell arteritis. I could have lost my eye site if I hadn't persued the issue. Sandie -- Re: Re: Christmas Party last night Hi Ed...

Shirley, the symptoms of Polymyalgia, are basically a lot like fibro only the pain is concentrated around the shoulders and hips. It is diagnosed by a sedimentation rate and c reative protein, they are both test to check for inflammation. The c reactive protein is also used to test for some cardiac problems. Treatment consist of prednisone or methotrexate or both. My rhuemy and I both chose the prednisone. With being a nurse and working with methotrexate, I believe the side effects of the prednisone or less to worry about than of the methotrexate. My rhuemy is one that stays up on latest treatment protocol and what I have researched is treat it symptamatically not necessarily by the lab work. With all my extensive arthritis, my inflammatory markers are not going to go Down to normal, they stay high. So we go by symptoms, and moniter the lab work while on prednisone, to try and balance the dosage. At present I am on 10 mg a day. See rhuemy on Jan 9 to see if we will lower the dose or leave as is for a while.

My mom is not on prednisone. She has dimentia and diabetes. Both of her knees are so bad with arthritis she can barely walk. Her dr. does little for her pain. The pain dr put her on prednisone for several days but to no avail. Thanks for replying. I appreciate your efforts. She is 86 and in very poor health. If you pray, please pray for her.Again thanks and God bless and have a merry Christmas Shirley Godbout

Shirley prayers for your mother. Sure do understand how you feel. My mother has been in the hospital in Indiana for over a week now on strong IV antibiotics, for sepsis. My sister says she has no pulse in the one foot. Mom has dementia also. She also has breathing difficulties. She had a 2nd cancer surgery in July, and just has not popped back from it. She was just 77 on the 6th of this month. She can use prayers also. Sandie -- Re: Re: Christmas Party last night My mom is not on prednisone. She has dimentia and diabetes.

I will pray for your mom as well. Thanks for yours. It's been a difficult week for me physically because I just don't know when to quit. But thank God I had a good sleep last night and am able to get to church this morning. I am thankful for friends to come to lend a hand when we're in distress. To God be all the glory and honor. Again, a very Merry Christmas. Jesus is the reason for the season. I speak healing and wholeness to your mom in Jesus name! Shirley Godbout
