Have you talked to a medical professional about this?
I have fibromyalgia ,OA and Gout amongst other things and at most of the time the my feet feel like I've had 6 of the best ( cane corperal punishment) in case your too young to remember)
Across the bottom of them moreso on the left foot with at the moment a very swollen ankle.
The same on the tips of my fingers
I find ice water to drink and soak
Failing that back up quick relief with morphine ,and slow release pregabalin.
Hope you can find an answer

I am so sorry to hear how much you have on your plate at the moment. Whilst fibro is different for everyone, from talking with other sufferers I believe that these feelings in your feet are common - in fact one friend has one foot that is affected and the other not. I also get burning in my foot that is affected by nerve damage and use pregabalin.
I will try to find some other suggestions that might help.
Best wishes, Claire

I have Fibro., as well and the symptoms regarding your feet I am experiencing them also. I think this is a part of the condition. My feet always feel like they are burning up, regardless of whether it is hot or cold, I have to be careful wearing shoes and have had to go up a shoe size and look for wide fitting shoes because they swell up even my ankles get puffy. Are you under a medical professional? Who is monitoring the amount of morphine that you are taking? I joined the Fibro society and they are very helpful, they also have a helpline that you can call I think it's twice a week for a phone call to someone who you can talk to openly about Fibro., I hope this helps.
