So many of you have experience with medications and as i have posted my fibro has become much more severe lately...lots of extreme stiffness with a kind of burning tightening band that makes my upper arms shoulders and legs rigid.
If i go to reach for something it pulls all up the arm neck and shoulder and then the pain goes nuts.
Do you think muscle relaxers would help this?
I am getting run down emotionally not being able to do any my usual things. The pain and stiffness doesn't change where it is or intensity. Everyday is the same for weeks and its there all night too.
If i sit still and do almost nothing its beareable but that's no life.
Any ideas?
More pain relief will just mask it and i fear i will injure myself as this has happened with my legs too after a while out of action they became deconditioned and i injured myself pushing to walk myself well again!
I wish i had realized resting too much during a bit of an emotional crisis would do this!
If anyone reads this all the advice about keep moving as much as possible it's true.
I don't want anyone else to go from the type good life with some good days I had by pacing fun etc etc to the state i am in now where nothing helps.
