I do have hip pain, but it's no so much like what you're talking about. When I say hip, I mean the joint where my leg connects to my hip. I seem to have more of a problem with it hurting when I lay up against something. Like when I lay in bed? That is painful, and it's an irritant. The pressure...

It's possible. I have arthritis in the back, which causes narrowing of the spine, which causes sciatica. Yes, sciatica is pretty awful. It's a different pain, too. I've noticed that Fibro tends to be more of a dull or throbbing pain. I find sciatica to be more searing. Both are equally obnoxious.

I do, but it's hard to say whether it's fibro or something else. I do have arthritis in my back, and that can cause many of those symptoms as well. I can tell you the one tell tale sign of a fibro flare with me is my knees hurt, burn, or are generally irritated. No lie, I got a pair of skinny...

I love Cymbalta for fibro pain. Arguably, there are other meds that would take away all the pain, but I'd pay a price for it. For instance, I took Lyrica for fibro as well, but it made me nearly comatose. I couldn't even think straight when I was on it. Cymbalta allowed me to get a grasp on my...

My primary doctor, who was a DO (Doctor of osteopathic medicine), initially diagnosed me. I asked for a second opinion, and a rheumatologist verified it. I insisted on a second opinion.

I actually weaned myself off of Lyrica. This isn't something I would suggest for most, I was a Pharmacy Technician, so I knew how to do it correctly. If I missed more than one dose I paid for it. I had major withdrawals and got very sick. I don't know if that was just me or not. I don't think...

I'm so sorry to hear that you're having to deal with this. I would probably feel the same way, you've lost a huge support system. Hopefully, things will get better for you as time progresses. This recent loss of your physical therapist is all very new to you. It's so frustrating to deal with...

I had this problem initially, yes. To be honest, I'm not sure if it was fibro, or a product of the meds I was on. I can tell you that Lyrica made me act like a drunk, both mentally and physically. It just made me flat out stupid. What kind of work out are you doing? Maybe you need to do...

Yes, indeed I do! With me, it's not only fibro. I have spondylosis and stenosis in my lower spine. That means I have arthritis in my back, and narrowing of my spinal column. So, I have the pain of the fibro, plus the additional pain of that. It's hard for me to move in the mornings, and my back...

Welcome to the forum! I'm sad that you have to be here, but glad that you found us. I'm hoping you'll get the support you need, here. I absolutely think fibro is related to other autoimmune issues. On my dad's side of the family, literally every daughter of his siblings has an autoimmune...
