I have been diagnosed with RLS as early as 2002-2003. But about a year ago the bottoms of my feet started "burning" when I went to bed. I put lotion on them for a few months and that relieved the discomfort. I could not get to sleep while my feet were "burning". Then I detoxed off opiates and the real fun began.

I can start walking through the house and all is well. Maybe ten steps later, or even 50 steps later I get pain in my feet. So severe I can't put weight on them. I have literally crawled to a chair to sit until the pain subsides. AND it might subside in five minutes or it might be longer. No way I have been able to predict it.

I called my Neurologist's office and made an appointment....next spring. My PCP is an internist and seems to keep up with things, so I went to see him. He said it is probably Fibromyalgia. My Neurologist called me on the weekend and asked me some questions, then said he would try to work me in ASAP. Based on his questions and my answers he said it sounds like Fibro, but he still wants to see me.

Does any of this make sense to those of you who suffer with it? I have had sharp, searing pains across the top of my feet, the heel, the bottoms and what feels like inside my feet.

It actually got better when I switched from Ropinirole to Mirapex for my RLS.

My whole body gets these sharp, shooting pains. Hands, feet, and probably other places I just can't remember right now.

Does any of this make sense?

What meds do you use for relief from it?
Thanks for your time.....
