fibromyalgia and wrist pain

Other symptoms include needle-like tingling of the skin, nerve pain, muscle aches and spasms, weakness in the limbs, functional bowel disturbances, and chronic sleep disturbances. Although fibromyalgia usually presents with chronic widespread pain, pain may also be localized in areas such as the shoulders, neck, low back, hips, or other areas. The cause of fibromyalgia is often hereditary or due to a physical or emotional trauma or due to lingering infection in the body such as due to mono.

However, I was on mobic for my wrist and that did not help at all so I had to get a cortisone shot in my wrist. It seemed to help, but the pain is already back and stronger than ever.Now I have a cold, wet feeling in my thumb. I grabbed a random photo off the Net and circled the place as to where I feel that sort of feeling. I never had the feeling before. I'm also limited on my mobility and my right ankle is pretty swelled up as well.

I have hand, wrist and ankle pain as well as in the arms and legs. This is soft tissue and muscle pain not joint or bone. It is worse in the morning and during the night. No tests revealed the problem so far. It's not related to my type one diabetes. Anyone else out there had this problem?

I have read a lot about wrist pain - as i also have it. It is associated with many many different related disorders - i would look into any disorder associated with inflammation or swelling - perhaps, fibro, lupus, thyroid, etc. Just a thought - good luck!

Thanks for the information. I also decided not to have surgery on wrist or back. I will try the splint at night and exercises for wrist. When I can't tolerate the pain any longer then maybe I will look into surgery.

why do some of my finger joints and my left wrist hurt only in the middle of the night?

I haven't posted in a loooong time. I am still undx'd and when I get frustrated, will sort of grin and bear it fotr a while. I have a question about the numbness/pain/stiffness assoc. with MS. When my symptoms first began (they are predominantly one sided), I was having a lot of numbness and needle stabbing type pain.

It was almost like a pinched nerve feeling in the back of my hand and up my wrist. It was a bit painful and it was difficult to move my arm without causing shooting pain in my hand it lasted about 8 hours with the after ache lasting about a day. I do not know if it was related to the treatment, but I have not had the experience before. Then today the hand pain has faded but my elbow is aching.

I am 26 and experiencing numbness and swelling in mostly my right hand. My hand actually swells so much that other people notice without me saying anything. Also with the swelling there is EXTREME PAIN. The pain and swelling doesn't SEEM to be in my joints or wrist. I can only describe this type of pain in one way.. I feel like my whole hand is exploding from the inside. It hurt so bad all i could do is roll around on the floor and yell.

I have fm and in the past 8 months developed painful lumps in the same place on both wrists. Just where the bottom of the thumb meets the wrist. I can't wear my watch band anymore because the swelling makes it so tight. To me it looks like there is something on one of the ligaments. Finally I went to the doctor . Xrays of both hands showed nothing. He gave me an injection of cortisone into the lump on the most painful wrist and although I still have this lump the pain is gone.

I have always been pretty strong, but when I have this wrist stiffness and pain it is like an inflammation and I just lose all strength in my wrist. I cannot do things like open up jars or pop bottle that other people open easily. This still happens. It's like a visitor comes and settled snugly in my knees, ankles, wrists and fingers. I wake up stiff and my joints snap and click a lot. It's loud and my husband can hear my joints snap well.

I still get rib pain, flank pain and every other kind of pain it just sorta moves around my body. Like today I woke up with my left wrist hurting very bad. as well as general muscle pain all over I think fibro causes all kinds of weird pains.

It gets so bad that I cannot climb stairs by the end of the night without difficulty. I have difficulty writing due to the hand and wrist pain. I am stiff and sore in the joints in the mornings, it gets better during the day and then the pain is severe in the evenings. I have had blood tests for Lupus, Rhematoid arthritis, lymes and parvo and they have been all negative. I also have chronic neck, back and hip pain. This has been going on for a long time now, over a year.

Ganglion cysts are very common fluid-filled lumps that form on the hand and wrist, usually on the upper side of the wrist. This will also be examined by both the specialists. After you come to a diagnosis a proper line of treatment should be started. Till then you can have intermittent anti inflammatory medications. Take care!

Every now and then, I get strange joint pain. I'm 18, healthy, active. I'm not sure what could be wrong. Last summer, I had a few areas that, one by one right after another, would just ache for a few days. It's happened here and there since then but these last few weeks have been miserable for me. I'm a housekeeper at an Alzheimer's home so I'm always busy, always on my feet. I began to have a soreness in my left big toe.

t put my foot to the floor only the ball feels painful,had bloods done and rheumatoid factor come back slightly high,but consultant is saying its fibromyalgia but its not widespread pain just certain joints that swell and hurt,this has been going on now for over a year and i need to know whats causing the swelling stiffness and pain,had ultrasound on wrists doctor who did it said i have alot of fluid around my left wrist but didn't say what 's causing it,need some advice please

Help! I have been having traveling joint pain for about two months now. I think this all started when I got a really bad strep throat infection. About two weeks after the infection pasted I started getting bad burning pains in my wrists when I move them (especially flexing them up or down) It was so bad I couldn't get dressed by myself in the morning) I started wrapping my wrist and that seemed to help.

I go into severe pain in my body, back, arms legs ankles and wrist amd with this pain comes sweling. It feels as though my limbs weigh a hundred pounds and I can hardly make it to the bathroom. This goes on for days. The last time this happened was this past Monday and I am still having trouble just moving around. I think my kids feel that I am pretending, but I am not. What is happening to me when this happens? Am I the only one that this happens to?

I had always thought it was weird how much my knees and wrist crack. But now my back and hip crack a lot too. And some days ill get the worst pain in all of those joints. Do you think it could be something bad? Please help. P.s. I dont purposely crack them. I just move and they crack. And the hip cracking, is that weird? Ive never heard of it before (i also have a problem with cracking my fingers and neck a lot and those hurt sometimes too.) P.P.S whenever i move some of my joints crack.

Hi I'm 20yrs old and worried about auto immune diseases. On my fathers side there is heaps a lupus and rhumatiod arthritis, as well as fibromyalgia, palindromic rheumatism and a few others similar! As I was growing up I always used to get reAllly bad 'growing pains' in my cales. Which Is normal, but now that I'm old I get them a fair bit at night, as well as what I can only describe as shin splints, which disable me from walking about once a month.

Week #2 - minor tingly and some subtle numbness in mostly arms and feet. Tingly and numbness was off and on - seemed to be more at rest and night? Sometimes numb patches upper arm, face, and lips which were short lived. Always able to feel pressure at numb spot - so i guess mild numbness. - painfull joint aches that rotated - wrist, toes, foot, knee, shoulder etc. - some lightheadedness and headaches (non-severe) - Pain under ribs, usually one side, but happened on both left and right.

I had a Stress Test done because of chest pain and shortness of breath and the report stated that I have a right axis deviation and early transition. I'm wondering what that means.

That went away a few days later and then I had pain in my hand and throughout the day I began to feel pain in my other hand then wrist. After a couple days it will go away and pop up somewhere else. I've also had pain in my feet and ankles as well. Any ideas?

There was no acute onset and the pain would come and go, sometimes lasting a month or more before going away and not hurting again for several weeks. It would hurt when the hand was in a neutral position as well as if I flexed it and applied pressure (like, pushing a door open). The source of the pain is in a groove between the wrist and the hand, at approximately the 2nd and 3rd metacarpals.

In addition to my left wrist area, I now feel pain in my fingers, elbow, shoulder, neck, jaw, teeth and ear, as well as my ribs, hip, knee and ankle areas. All the pain in these locations is only on the left side of my body. I can get very short-term relief by "popping" any of the joints near the previously mentioned affected areas. My question is, how could this tendonitis spread? Can tendonitis do this? If not, then what is affecting me?

The swelling is symmetrical and is only in one localized place on both hands and feet, on top of hands/feet going from between index and middle finger to my wrist/ between the big toes up my feet to almost the ankle. It looks like I have slugs under my skin. The swelling would go away completely at first but is slightly sticking around on both hands and feet. It seems to happen after using them for extended periods of time. I have a lot of pain in my hands and feet in general.
