Fibromyalgia is a common chronic pain problem that comes with a miserable quality of life and impacts on sleep. There is no specific fibromyalgia foot pain or problem that happens as part of the process, but if you have a foot problem, especially something like plantar fasciitis or heel pain, then the pain levels of that in those with fibromyalgia is going to be much higher and have a bigger impact.
The management of things like heel pain in fibromyalgia can be challenging. The treatment is the same as it would be for those who do not have fibromyalgia, its just more difficult and will take a lot longer. More pain relief may be needed along with a lot of psychological support also being needed.
The general approaches taken to manage the fibromyalgia will help the foot pain as that improves. This includes things like exercise, improved sleep, medications and support.
