fibromyalgia in the back

Health Problem – I had this typical pain on the right side of neck-shoulder joint (on the back side) in the month of March, 2007. It was not much of a problem and little bit pain was there. I visited a doctor in April, 2007 and he gave me injection on the affected area. I was relieved of pain immediately but it came again after 1-2 months. But this time, I ignored it but it was not troubling me that much. Then I got married in the month of Feb, 2008.

I too am undx'd and have had just about every test there is. Waiting now for the results of the LP and thoracic MRI. Your description of your pain is very good and sounds just like mine. My pain is with me all the time. It is worse when I get up from being still. For example, getting out of bed in the AM or getting up from a chair. It is always there to some degree. It feels like I worked out with weights and am very, very sore.

I have fibromyalgia and my whole back is screwed up so in in constant pain all the time.... But, with the fibro I am so sensitive to the touch and I have no energy to do anything because my muscles are exhausted from all the pain. I can't even go up a flight of stairs d ue to my legs have no strength like I just did 5k run and my legs can't carry me any longer. The pain is so strong.....

I asked the doctor why am i still getting pain under my ribs at the front right hand side also in my back? He said its probbly my fibroids which are causing the pain......It feels like they are always guessing!!!!!

She recently had an endoscopy procedure, came home (I was designated to watch her due to the drugs would cause temporary amnesia) and was suffering neck pain that she placed a pack of ice on and slept for a couple hours. I helped her when she awoke with some breathing excercises, laying on her back and stretching the neck muscles out. This lasted about 45 minutes.

Hello! My left leg is hurting from the knee to the hip. The bend of the leg or pelvic area hurts to walk. I have fibromyalgia. This pain just started about a week ago. I can't sleep on either side. I have to sleep on my back. If I sleep on my back to long it starts to hurt. I was told I have three fibroid tumors. Can they be the pain I am having or can it be something else. The pain is severe!!!!!!! What can I do?

I hurt all the time in just about every muscle , hips, legs, back, neck , shoulders, could this be muscle atrophy, or is it coming from the osteoarthritis that i have.

This feels a lot like the pain you get with gas in the intestines. But its always over on the left side.

Going to have a robotic laproscopy some time in Feb to remove the scar tissue/adhesions, seperate the ovary, fallopian tube and bowels from eachother and hopefully save the ovary and tube. Has anyone ever had this done?

the constipation that you experience could very well be playing a part in your back problem. The bloating and pressure alone might be causing the discomfort. It may be a good idea to add more fiber into your diet so that it will help with this area. Also, it has been proven that men placing their wallets into their back pocket and sitting can cause pressure on the spine. Simple as that may sound, it does cause back pain...

I went to GA to the Fibro and Fatigue Center and they are awsome. However, the drive there and back taked 8hrs then you add in the 4hrs you are there and it just wasn't worth it. I have seen Dr. St. Amand, Dr. Gatell (also in Atlanta). He is a quack. Now I am just back with my GP who manages the pain meds and anxiety. There just seems no where to go from here. I am so tired of doctors and treatments and different things to try. I am mentally and physically spent.

She had breast cancer in 2004 and she in 2007 had the cancer come back she endend up having 10 tumors in the brain 3 large tumors in the back of her brain hitting the optic nerves so she had poor vision as a result the doctor gave her 6months to live and after a few months of radiation she stopped because she could not afford anymore payments to go anymore the cancer spread to every organ in her body bones too and lungs and spleen too she died and yes who wouldn't feel pain from loosing y

s syndrome can cause back muscle spasms, especially in the lower back and if it can cause diffuse back pain with the major pain generally in the lower back. The pain can move or perhaps just be more prominent in a different area, say my shoulder area or hip area. My hips have been x-rayed and are fine. It always hurts when I get a massage and I always have knots.

s walk to work and back i.e. 60 minutes in the sun every day. Then, when the weather changed in October, it wasn't long before I was virtually housebound with chronic symptoms. It is strange the way the sun can have that instant effect, regardless of the level of Vitamin D in the system - I am just counting the days until Spring - I am holding onto the belief that I will be able to live a more normal life once we get more sunshine.

has ran all the blood tests in the world and nothing, I had a perfect MRI a year ago and just recently went back to the neuro and went through a total physical evaluation and had a normal EMG. I'm not sure what's going on. So far I have been put on anxiety meds. Thank you all in advance for reading this long post and for your comments.

Although I have had my thyroid levels be off in the past so I did have that checked at the ER and the thyroid was normal.

Fibromyalgia is diagnosed after other things are ruled out and if you have pain in the proper tender points. You should see a doctor.

Your symptoms sort of point to fibromyalgia, except for the rash, at any rate, a basic doctor visit is in order and they can refer you accordingly.

Pain travels through the body in different places, some days like you said it can be in right elbow then day after in the left. This condition is extremely painful and can be disabling, unfortunately it is for me, and the pain is throughout my body but different day by day. There is a test for this condition, but no cure, just medication to alleviate the pain. Hope this as helped in some way.

I saw every doctor imagineable (orthopedist, rheumatologist, acupuncturist, physiatrist, myofascial trigger point therapist, massage therapists) Not much helped but it went away towards the end of september) My only symptoms were upper back pain. The muscles were very tight and knotted.I was not fatigued and sleeping was not an issue. A couple of weeks ago both of my legs began to bother me. They were tight and achy.

It's weird you should post this. I went to the doctors in February with horrible muscle pain in my legs and arms. He did a b-12 which i was low a few months back. Came in with arm pain and not feeling good. He also checked my thyroid and D levels. My thyroid was off a few months ago also but is fine now. But the D test came back low. In the mean time I couldn't take it and went to the rhemy whom I just saw in Janurary.

For the last year and a half I have been having a lot of issues with the fibromyalgia. Back in August of 07 I started stumping, loosing my balance and falling. Back in October I fell and broke my right leg. My question is loosing your balace, falling, etc. part of the fibromyalgia.

She ended up with severe lower back pain, weakened legs to the point she was wheelchairbound, in the childrens hospital for 12 days, released with prednisone, ciproflaxin and a diagnosis of mycoplasma neuropathy. MRIs and LP are all negative, however her IGG was 5,000 when we started in January, and she just recently finished a 2 week course of doxycycline and it is still 3700. Gabapentin from the neuro did not help the pain, neuro sent us to rheum. who then diagnosed her with fibro.

Everythings great when im injected, Im back to bein me but it only last for 4-6wks tops and then im back in horrific pain day, day in day out. I was in a serious car crash, I was physically fit and well before then, but since then ive been in pain everywhere every day gettin worse as time goes on. Its been 3yrs now and there doesnt seem to be any end to all this or at least some relief other than the injections, but like i said they dont last.

Is the sharp pain in the left breast near the top portion of the breast and closer to the actual chest portion of the breast tissue? This one section can get this sharp pain and not even be related to breast health at all. I can understand the concern, since my family lost a member to a rarer form of aggressive breast cancer and breast health is on the top of my list, too. Do you have acid reflux (GERD)?
