Hi Simon

Yes, I get sharp stabbing pains. I also get burning, throbbing, squeezing, and "don't you dare touch me" pains.

I hope you get to feeling better.

Hugs
Marion

Yep, the sharp stabbing pains are pretty common for me. And yes, I tend to get them in the middle of the night. Not fun. I hope you get some undisturbed rest and feel better soon.

I have terrible foot pain all the time. Mine is not sharp and stabbing it is burning and pins and needles feeling. Sometimes my feet are so hot, I think I could boil water with them :) They also feel like the sole of my foot is about 1/2 inch thick of a dead layer of meat just stuck on my foot. In other words, it feels like it has died off and still stays on my foot. Pretty bad.

Ah, the "wasp stings", as I call them. Others get the knife, the bite, the unendurable itchy tingle, you name it. Neuromuscular he**. I tend to get them less now I'm on an SSRI for non-FM reasons (irony), but oh, they can still hit.

I dunno if they're common to FM or what, but I only got them after a 2011 injury damaged a spinal and pelvic nerve.

Soft healing to you.

Yes. I call them "The Voodoo Doll" effect. Someone out there really hates me.
Gentle hugs.

haha voodoo doll. ya ive decided that it feels like when you step on a rock with bare feet except it lasts longer. i did have nerve damage in my lower back from a really hard delivery with my last daughter. my lower back was numb for two years and then i started getting FM symptoms. i believe its related. and now i get sciatica right where the nerve feelings in my back started to come back.
