I was diagnosed a year ago with FM by my general practitioner. At the time I was already on Escitalopram for depression and he prescribed Mobic for the pain. I also have bone on bone OA of both knees. The Mobic has helped my knee pain but for me, the worst pains are the "zings" that happen out of the blue. Today my left neck/shoulder feels like a violin string just waiting to snap. The pain goes down my arm and my upper right back. I am also having pain in most of my joints today and a sharp shooting pain randomly in my elbow, foot or fingers. I don't know whether to call this nerve pain, muscle pain, arthritic pain or what! My GP doesn't really know either. He tries but he admits he is not a specialist of FM. He wants to refer me to a rheumatologist but I want to make sure it is someone who KNOWS about FM and the current treatment modalities available today. Do you all see a rheumatologist? A pain specialist? A homeopathic specialist? I just need some relief ![Frown :( :(](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png)
