Does Fibromyalgia have anything to do with painful feet?

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

I have been to the foot surgeon and he said I may have Morton’s Neuroma. Could that be a result or off-shoot of my Fibromyalgia? What can be done about it besides orthotics?
I wouldn’t think that the 2 are directly related. Morton’s Neuroma has to do with the transverse arch collapsing down [...]
