Ok, so I spent more time on my feet yesterday, with a guest visiting. I overdid it. Luckily, I don't have a bad flare but pain is increased for sure. And my left knee is swollen. I often have joints issues. My hip has had bursitis and then a torn labrum, and I am about to get a PRP injection mid-month and hope to maybe stop limping by Xmas. (I have been struggling with the hip for about 3 years now, injections and PT didn't help.) I have had repeat tendonitis, repeat golfer's elbow, PT several times for neck arthritis and so on. Now I am trying to decipher whether all these are heredity and age and so one exacerbated by fibro, or if other folks also have joint issues because of fibro. I suspect the former but don't know, so information welcome! I think a little may also be menopaus, as hands are hurting more on occasion in new ways. My weirdest symptom lately is lack of feeling/weakness/dexterity coming and going, esp. in my right hand. Today I am not noticing it, sometimes it drives me nuts and cramps for days. The EMG came back normal. It's really hard trying to figure out what is caused by what, when these flare up and down all the time!!
