Fibromyalgia and the Foot

There is no doubt that fibromyalgia is a miserable condition to have. Those with it have a poor quality of life constantly dealing with the chronic pain. They are always looking for a “cure”. This makes them vulnerable to every quack that comes along offering a cure. I recently wrote a couple of pieces (here and here) on the book by a podiatrist claiming to have found the cure for fibromyalgia and that cure is in the feet. I don’t think so.

The book is full of pseudoscience and made up stuff and presents no evidence to back up the claim except for a few anecdotes. That is not good enough these days.
