For about the last month my left foot has been hurting intensely. I am not aware of anything that I have done to hurt myself. It hurts to put my weight on it, especially firt thing in the morning. It hurts when I bend it certain ways. I do not think it is broken or anything because it is not swollen. My husband was sick last week so I slept on the couch, it seemed to hurt less on the nights I slept on the couch. When he got better and I started sleeping in our bed again, it started hurting really bad again. I also have a seriously stiff neck on my left side. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Any ideas about what may be causing it?

Answer:

Sweetie, you mentioned having fibromyalgia. That could very easily be the cause of your foot pain, or a factor in it. I have rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and palindromic rheumatism. My feet hurt constantly, but they aren't always swollen. My diseases cause them, and it's likely your disease is causing this also. Speak with your doctor about this, he's really the only person who can help you. You might require further testing or different meds.

**My sister also has fibro, along with RA. It wouldn't hurt to see your doctor about this.

Foot pain in the heal can either be a heal spur, or Planter phacitous ( an inflammation from the arch falling) You can try arch supports in your shoes, ice the bottom of your feet and take an anti inflammatory like ibuprofen. All else falls see a foot doc.
