fibromyalgia

Avatar f tn For the past 6 mos. I have experienced, increased muscle weakness in my legs, starting in calves, moved to thighs and now is in my arms. My GP has done full blood work, urine & stool analysis & ruled out heart/circulatory and rheumatoid arthritis. The sharp, electrical type pain, I have in my legs arms and lower face are getting so bad, I now walk with a cane & climbing stairs, kneeling or getting up from a squatting position causes me to cry out.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn I recently had my vitamin D checked after having dizziness and problems with balance, I also have weakness in my right arm and leg. How long do you think it will take for these problems to go away? I've seen a neurologist who believes I definitely don't have MS btw. My vitamin D was 6ng/ml!!
Avatar n tn pls tell me whether it is natural or some problem and while i am standing i am getting pain in the palm of the leg...
Avatar f tn When I sit my left leg goes numb all over including the groin area. When I stand or walk the left leg is weak and the bottom of my foot tingles and is painful. I get random numbness and tingling in my left hand, left side of my scalp and around the eye and lip. I just keep getting told I have this or that but not enough to cause these issues. (osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia) Just this week I have had this weird symptom show up.
Avatar m tn have leg numbness, fatigue throughout legs and limbs and have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Myofascial (knots in the fascia) back in November. My legs are still strong but they often feel weak and wobbly. I cannot walk as much as I used to, and had to leave my job because of the pain, might be neurological (nervous system). I was healthy too, high pain tolerance, active....
Avatar f tn Over the last 9 months, I have had sinus problems, tender jaw, facial pain, earache and sorethroat (no infection) (mainly cheekbone/behind eyes/temple) it tends to be a dull constant pain. I actually can feel the kind of tension knots you would get in your back in and around my head. Earlier in the year my ears felt very blocked, i had to keep popping my ears to hear properly and had a bit of vertigo which has no subsided. My dentist said I had TMJ and fitted me with a mouth gaurd.
Avatar f tn Feb Mayo Clininc Visit: ANA low positive titer, they say no clinical significance; Rheumatologist did lupus panel and other autoimmune tests - all negative. Neuro did exam and "could not diagnose an underlying neurologic disease. Attributed all of my symptoms to Fibromyalgia and said that I just have an extreme case of it. I am going to post more about the neurology report in my next post with some questions. Thanks for taking the time to review my case!
5788493 tn?1374277575 nerve pain, neck pain, groin pelvic pain, head aches, and severe diffuse body pain and allover aches and deep heavy aches and leg weaknes. Does anyone else have a variety of pain condtions? what is your FIBRO Like? what caused yours, if you know? How long have you had this pain condtion?
Avatar f tn I like you had all the tests, MRIs never showed the excruiating shoulder blade pain I was living with or the bone crushing lower back pain, i have the gamut of symptoms sciatic pain, the joint stiffness, the lack of sleep, skin sensitivity, headaches, leg weakness. Let my story be a tale of caution to you as you navigate finding out what is causing your pain.
Avatar f tn The pain in hands and arms could be due to fibromyalgia or some other cause. Any sprain, degenerative arthritis of the spine, tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome and bursitis can lead to arm pain. It will be best to discuss it with your doctor about the above mentioned possibilities. You may need a clinical examination and tests to rule out the possible cause. Treatment will be specific for the cause. Do keep us posted. Best of luck and kind regards!
Avatar f tn I have generalized trembling mostly on the left side of my body and muscle weakness and pain. The fatigue is severe to the point where I can only do a few things and then lie down. I feel like a limp dish rag. I have trigeminal neuralgia, polymyalgia rheumatica, and fibromyalgia, but my doctors say it is not caused by any of them or the medications I am taking? Has anyone else experienced the same thing? What was your diagnosis? How did you treat it?
Avatar f tn Fibromyalgia is widespread pain throuout the entire body,it actually hurts to be touched.Maybe a possible pinched nerve or sciatica?
Avatar f tn The left side of my body from head to toe has weakness, numbness, uncoordinated, pain, burning foot, numbness that wraps around my leg like an ace bandage, and sometimes over sensitive when touched. Along with all that fun stuff, short term memory loss, bowl & urinating issues. So in short I've lost about 25 - 30% usage on my left side, unable to walk without a limp. (In Feb 2000 I lost feeling for 2 weeks, but it all came back except for a little numbness still in my face).
Avatar f tn A few days ago, I started experiencing aches and twitching in my other leg, and in both of my arms. My right leg now feels stiff and weak- I keep expecting it to buckle under me, but it never does. I can still go up stairs, walk, and etc., but whenever I do that one leg feels painful and weak. Also, I feel the twitching, but I can't see it- it's not visible looking at my leg. It's like the muscles under the skin are clenching or something.
Avatar m tn When I try to relax them my leg falls aleep and I have a pins and needles feeling all the way up my thigh and even in my lower back. Any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks.
Avatar n tn Hi All, I am a 29 year old from male the north east...relatively good health until about 5 months ago when I began feeling sore in different parts of my body...as of today, I wake up with soreness in my fingers, elbows, shoulders, knees, and toes. It's not pain like streakes down my leg but constant soreness. I feel it most in the AM and when I get out of my office chair...
563582 tn?1217742383 Does anyone know if there is any correlation between herpes and fibromyalgia. I notice that since I have been diagnosed with herpes my other pain (we don't know what it is yet but fibromyalgia and lupus are on the table right now) really started to increase. And it's not just the pain normally associated with herpes ( pian down the backs of the legs and swolen glands), it is all of my symptoms seemed to have increased since then.
Avatar n tn Leg pain and weird feelings in legs - legs feel like they are cold, and weak with muscle twiching in the knees, thighs and calves. It is worse when I am sitting down then when I am moving around Muscle cramps in hands and feet and arms When standing still, feels like I need to sit down but balance is fine I can run on a regular basis, climb stairs, workout without any weakness or tripping. I had an EMG done in April 2007 and I have having a MRI on May 2 2008.
Avatar f tn Hi, Fibromyalgia can cause chronic deep muscle pain. There are many ways to decrease this muscle pain and one of them is water exercises or water aerobic. Warm water will be very comforting. The exercise will increase the blood flow to the muscles and tendons and thereby decrease the pain. http://www.webmd.
Avatar f tn It is a neurontin that works on nerves that create the pain of Fibromyalgia. I started out with a low dose and he has me continuing to add in doses until the pain is under control. Today is Monday and I feel 50% better. Also, Tramadol is recommended for pain relief with Fibro. He said opiates such as vicodin, oxy, morphine don't work well on nerve pain. Fibro is believed to be caused by over active nerve receptors in the brain so the gabba works to calm them down.
Avatar f tn Then I was at a store and bent down but could not get up, it hurt but was more of a weakness, but it increased to severe pain in knees, lower back, hands and wrist, ankles top of foot, shoulders and neck and facial pain.The pain got worse and I gained weight fast, it was water weight, I had fluid build up in both knees and shoulders, ankles and hands. I also have chronic sinusitis and a perferated nasal septum do to numerous infections and steroid nose spray.
