Hello I am a 28 year old male and just a couple weeks ago I was diagnosed with Fibromayalgia by a Rhuematologist at UCLA. To summarize my situation: I hurt my shoulder at the gym 8 years ago. Nothing helped (Conservative treatment, Physical Therapy, Cortisone, Surgery). As time went on I went back to the gym and after about a year my inner elbow started to hurt.... I treated conservatively with no luck and followed up with a cortisone shot (also with no luck). I barely twisted my knee (and I mean barely) and again with conservative treatment it never got better (its been over 2 years). About 3 months ago I went to a chiropractor to treat a muscle spasm in my neck.... after her treatment my OTHER shoulder started to hurt and still has not gotten better. I wake up with a burning sensation in this shoulder daily. The doctor says that all this puts me in the category of having Fibroymayalgia, but I feel like all of my joint pains have had some cause. None of these pains have come out of nowhere. I would GREATLY appreciate feedback from all of you. I have been put on Cymbalta and have been taking it for the past week. :?:
