    Sever pain in arms due to Fibromyalgia

    You should see a doctor, there is a simple blood test that can answer your questions!

    Strange weakness

    Sciatica pain is horrible. I had a friend who had it in both legs and she could barely walk. (Comes with bone spurs too, sometimes.) She is on pain medicine now and it has taken her many months to feel better. She has not been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia though.

    Getting worse?

    Interesting comments. I'm glad that I took a moment to join the forum. Flare ups can happen at anytime. I recently had a bad one, but I feel better now. I have a new doctor who definitely is more understanding and a nurse that actually has/had Fibromyalgia herself. (It can go into remission or...

    Another typical day

    Good one! I am reading where even big name stars have Fibromyalgia like Lady Gaga and Morgan Freeman.

    Arm and leg pain?

    Lone fits too, I feel sometimes I am alone but I get it that you wanted to say long.

    Is this doctor correct???

    If you've been in the woods or been bitten by a tick this might be necessary. It could be Fibromyalgia with myofascial trigger points which are extremely painful and until these trigger points are taken care of walking is not good, it could cause lameness. Which I can attest to, I did it. I...

    Confused yet thoughtful

    Not really asking anything, just venting after a horrible visit with a doctor. My hope is that no one ever has to go through that. I found a new doctor and she is great. Venting here gave me encouragement to try another doctor, that and a few concerned friends that encouraged me to change...

    Sever pain in arms due to Fibromyalgia

    I would guess from what you have written that you lifted something like groceries or did the laundry. I used to do my son's jeans and my arms hurt so bad afterwards for days. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and my arms right and left hurt so bad, I can't even describe it, then I have to go...

    Could it be fibro?

    I would get the diagnosis either way, your doctor(s) should be able to tell you after a simple blood test. It is so much easier then when I was diagnosed with it in 2003. Also, I would get a full work up whether you have arthritis or not. (that's blood tests also) I think that it is very...

    Muscle pain and itching

    I think for all of us it is putting our lives back together the best that we can in anyway that we can. It is hard to express yourself when people will say, "I heard there is a cure for that and everyone is doing fine." But I have learned to take it all with a grain of salt and I have learned to...

    Sever pain in arms due to Fibromyalgia

    Sounds like joint and muscle pain to me. I'm not sure but there could be arthritis. I'd get the work up. It's simple blood tests. Hint: Over the counter drugs that you can purchase for yourself come in extra strength. The generic work fine and for $2.00 you could be set for awhile.

    Drunken walk

    I feel top heavy too, and have to be careful when I am picking things up off the floor or taking out the garbage. I hold on to walls first thing in the morning or when I need to get up at night. I had adverse reactions to the gabapentin drug and can not take it. I told the pharmacist...

    Fire and Ice nightmare

    I brought this down for two reasons: what you are describing is two different pains and I have had them both. The first part of this is called zings or electrical pains. I also get them in fingers and feet also in the groin. Once I tried a new pill and laid down I had this horrible headache with...

    I am not alone

    It's also okay to give yourself permission to rest. I rest and rest and then if I can walk a block that's okay. If one block turns to two blocks that's okay to. I know the feeling and I am one that will not doubt you if you say not today.🤫
