Topic: What makes your foot pain worse (Bartonella)

I have Bartonella.

I noticed that my foot pain becomes more severe when I am on my feet for long periods of time.

I find if I sit or lay down every few hours, it helps to keep the pain to a minimum.

I am interested in what other folks' experiences with foot pain have been.

Not my feet but close to them. . . I have pain in my lower shins from bart and I cannot wear socks that press against the skin. I have to buy very loose fleece socks. My lower shin on the outside above the ankle is swollen and next to the swollen area on top on my shin bone is a dent. Anything pressing on it hurts bad.

Arie1, I have the same symptoms. If I stay off of feet, they don't hurt so much. If i am up on feet it makes them so much worse. If I am on them for 2 hours at a time, I can suffer pain in feet for months and months.

When I began the Salt/ C protocol the first symptom to go away was chronic foot pain in the very bottom of my feet. Also the dragon like skin on the sides of my feet normalized.

My feet seem to hurt worst in the morning, and the pain subsides throughout the day.

Toppers, did you mean flourescent lighting makes your foot pain worse?

Nefferdun, ugh, that sounds terrible!

Burnsjw, your case sounds exactly like mine except I am in pain for weeks versus months

Dyna3495, I will have to look into that protocol

Txgirl09, my feet also hurt worst in the morning.

My feet tend to hurt worse when I've been off of them for a bit. First thing in the a.m. - getting up at night to use the bathreeom - after a nap.

They did bother me a lot yesterday when I was at Walmart for a bit.

same as mojo, mine hurt after being off them. The longer I'm off them, the more they hurt. Can barely walk when I get out of bed in the morning.

mojo and cattail, you both have the opposite situation that I have.

My feet hurt more when I am on them for a while.

Based on responses to my question, it seems that there is no rhyme or reason for the manner in which Bartonella foot pain occurs!

This is so interesting. Foot pain was one of my first symptoms (though I didn't know it was lyme then - 20 yrs. ago).

They are much worse after resting, almost like I'm walking on rocks.

They also starting hurting after I've been up for a bit.

I must wear tight cotton socks all the time to keep toe joints together in order to avoid tripping on everything.

Didn't know it was bartonella.

back2game, your case is interesting.

So you get foot pain both after resting and when you've been up for a bit?

I, like you did not know my foot pain was Bartonella all this time!
