back pain

I just found this forum and am very thankful for it. I am hopeful that someone here can help me pre-determine whether I have FM or not as it has been quite a journey these past three months and I will try to keep things as short and concise as possible: Dec '16: Started with right lower back...

Hi, folks. I'm new to this forum and new to my fibro diagnosis. I have been seeing a pain doc due to pack pain. Over the years I have had pain in my hips that is actually worse than the back pain - I can't lie on either side because of the hip pain and I can't lie on my back because of back...

Hi everyone, I'm new and from Australia. I am so glad that I just found this forum. :) A friend recommended looking up Fibromyalgia when I was discussing the symptoms of my ongoing illness and pain on my Facebook. I post there to try and cope with what I'm going through and my online friends...

I often experience severe lower back pain at the base of my spine with my fibro. In past years I have had epidurals to treat it. Mommy, she doesn't think I should have anymore. I did it probably at 23. Now at 28 for some reason she thinks it's more dangerous for me to be "playing around with my...

I've had problems for years with joint pains mainly but loads of other symptoms that have brought me to a possible diagnosis of Fibro. I'm getting so frustrated with living in limbo land, I just wish I knew what was wrong with me. I've had so many tests and still no diagnosis. I saw physio...

Bottom line: if your spine and body is misaligned, your brain, nerves, and blood circulation are not optimal. Pain is a common result. I've been a FM patient since 1998. Needless to say, I've had...

Hi, I am 23 year old male and I started having severe twitches 4 weeks ago. I use to wake up with stiff legs every morning since 2014 but it used to go away when I start walking around or sit. Slowly it progressed to having pain all the time. Some days I feel I have absolutely no issues in my...

Hi, I've just joined. For several years I've had doctors, massage therapists, chiro's etc mention I could have Fibro. I didn't think much of it until my combined symptoms have become steadily worse. I'm not yet diagnosed and have no idea where to start. My ongoing symptoms are: Severe Restless...

I've had back pain for years (15+) but over the past 5 or so is when I have developed the widespread pain. THe fatigue has been for 3+ years....but it all came to a head this past Feb. I had extreme fatigue and pain - thought I had the flu. Also had panic attacks. Doctor (NP actually) said it...

I just wanted to say hello and thank you for allowing me to be here. There's a ton of information on this site and valuable tips. Still not sure what's wrong with me, but I do see some kind of doctor nearly weekly and still no answers. No explanation for my exhaustion, burning head, neck, and...
