A member asked:
Would planter facitis ever clear up if i have fibromylgia as foot doctor said an op may not work?

Fibromyalgia: Alot of doctors don't like to operate on pts with fibromyalgia since those patients have low tolerance for pain and usually high expectations for spectacular yet unachievable surgical results. Together the two are a recipe for worsening both conditions.

Possibly: A person voiced concerned that an operation for plantar fasciitis would be ineffective in patients with #fibromyalgia. There is no evidence for this speculation, and most doctors would probably regard the two disorders to be mutually exclusive. Treatment for plantar fasciitis is probably efficacious irrespective of underlying fibromyalgia.

No association: Fibromyalgia is an increased general sensitivity to pain, plantar fasciitis is a local inflammatory condition in the sole of the foot. Fibromyalgia doesn't preclude surgery of any kind. Quite literally fibromyalgia hurts but it won't hurt (damage) you
