sore

I don't know if this is fibro, RA or PMR but in the morning I am so stiff and sore I can barely get out of bed and get ready for the day. We go t the gym three days a week where I do weight machines and cardio machines and take a nap when we get home. On the days we don't go to the gym, I just...

Does massaging sore spots actually do any good? They feel like they need to be massaged because they're painful, but when I do massage them, the next day it just feels bruised, even when I don't touch them. Also, I seem to have trouble with sore spots on my ribs (as well as everywhere else)...

I am a bit lost and feel totally lazy and guilty right now. I would like some advice if possible. I am a male in my mid 30s and i have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 9 years ago, and addison disease about 7 years ago. I did well for the first 3 years with addison. I was working full...

Hello! I know with fibromyalgia there are the tender points, but I've checked and this dosent seem to be one. For years, the upper part of my arm has been very sensitive and tender, to the point that even the lightest pat or tap hurts and radiates and lasts for a while. I am in the middle of a...

I am at the end of my rope. I have been dealing with these same symptoms for about two years now and have gone from doctor to doctor asking for help to figure out what is wrong. I am seeing an Endocrinologist at the beginning of next month. But here is what I have been dealing with: 1.) Extreme...

Hello, I am struggling with fibromyalgia, major depressive disorder, anxiety, PTSD, arthritis and other issues. Yesterday visited the Dr. with symptoms of sciatic pain limiting mobility for past two weeks, also, weakness and soreness in right arm. After two weeks of struggling with these...

Hi all, Fairly new to the forum (been poking around since I realised I probably had fibro). I saw the rheumatologist yesterday and it's more or less official: I have Fibro. He checked for tender points (didn't get a count, but I have a bunch) and the symtoms questionnaire all came up positive...

Hey, I am currently being evaluated for Fibro, and finally see the rheumatologist on Monday. I'm not sure entirely what to expect, but probably they will check for tender/trigger points. I'm pretty sure I have several, though probably not all of them. There are spots on the side of my elbows...

I was just recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, although I have been experiencing the pain for about 5 years. I am about to turn twenty, and I spent the majority of my high school experience in constant pain and feeling like I was crazy. It was so difficult to be so young and struggle to do...

I've been trying to do better about getting healthier and conditioning my body to function better living with fibromyalgia. After years of being sedentary and living on pain meds I have finally decided to change my lifestyle. I'm off pain meds and on 1200mgs of Gabapentin instead. It works...
