I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 7 months ago when I went into the rheumatologist complaining of weakness and soreness in my arms and shoulders. My doctor did run blood tests which came back normal, and he did do a trigger point test...which were only slightly uncomfortable in the spots that he said were "positive." I was told at that point that I had fibro and was given tramadol and sent home. I now have pain in my shoulders, hips, upper arms, thighs and my right calf and restless leg syndrome most nights. I also have a numb patch on my right legs and a crawling sensation in my spine.
I don't have troubles sleeping, I don't have fibro fog, I have never been sensitive to the touch. The most accurate description that I have read of my symptoms was for PMR but I am only 22yrs old and have been told that it would be nearly impossible for me to have it.
I was recently prescribed Savella which has done nothing for my pain so far. I have an appt. with a new rheumy and a neurologist next month but I'm going crazy thinking about what it could be. Does this sound like fibro? Please help me
