Hello Everyone,
I am new here and I'm hoping to get some feedback. I have recently been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Osteoarthritis. I know for sure the Osteoarthritis was a accurate diagnose, but still in denial about the fibromyalgia. For starters I have joint pain and muscle aches, fatigue, depression, headaches, edema, weight GAIN, brain fog, stiffness, but NO TENDER POINTS. I don't have chronic pain. Yes it's true that I can't stand or walk for more than 10 minutes without feeling pain in my joints, but it's not constant pain in my neck, shoulders, and back. It's more like lower extremities. I know that in order to have Fibromyalgia I have to have tender points, which I don't. I don't have nerve pain that is crimpling me from then neck down. However I've been tested for everything else and everything has been ruled out. Can I still have fibromyalgia? Anyone else experiencing the same? Please help! Thanks!
