Ive been dx with fibro for 12 years now. Just wondering if anyone has had the burning sensation on the top of their feet? Never had that symptom before. Its always been on the bottom. Any suggestions or recommendations? i Have a pain pump with fentanyl and baclofen. Take soma, norco and lyrica for fibro. And recently have lidocane patch for burning sensation but no relief yet.

Burning sensation all the time. I've found nothing to relieve it. It gets so bad at times that I can't wear socks or shoes.

I've had fibro for about 17 years, but found out about a year ago that I was Thiamin deficient (B1 vitamin).  I never realized that there was no B-1 in my sublingual B-complex and anyone who has had bariatric surgery will not absorb B vitamins as easily as before.

Thiamin deficiency isn't something doctors test for unless you ASK FOR IT.  I had pain, burning, tingling sensation in my feet, top and bottom, for years.  If my pants brushed across the top of my feet, it was agonizing!  However, about a month after starting the B-1 replacement, the pain was all but gone!!  I was absolutely amazed.  It seemed just absolutely too simple, so I started doing some reading and found out that B1 deficiency can cause severe nerve pain/sensitivity.  Pain killers usually don't work on it either.

B1 is water soluable, which means you can't overdose on it.  Your body will just eliminate what it doesn't need.  If you want validation, then get your level tested by your doctor.  If you just want to get started to see if it helps, go get yourself a bottle of B-1 (usually comes in 100 mg tablets) and take it faithfully each day for a month or so to see if your symptoms improve.  Mine certainly did!  I hope it works for you!!
