FM & plantar fasciitis

[Guest guest]

Pain can originate in the feet where muscles, ligaments, and joints

become stressed and tender. Some people with fibromyalgia also have

plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the fascia or thick fibrous area

in the heel at the attachment to the heel bone. Treatment may include

using anti-inflammatory medication, physical therapy, and cushioning

(such as SPENCO athletic inserts) to absorb the shock to the heel as

you walk. Good athletic shoes and orthotics can also help. Talk to

your physician if you think you might have plantar fasciitis.
