Fibromyalgia leg pain help
Common Questions and Answers about Fibromyalgia leg pain help
fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is widespread pain throuout the entire body,it actually hurts to be touched.Maybe a possible pinched nerve or sciatica?
When we have a disc problem we can get pain that runs down the length of our legs even in to the feet. It also could be that. I have fibromyalgia and it would be odd that you have pain only in that area. Does stretching it out help? you said walking does help. I wonder if it's a touch of arthritis in the hip. If you are in a cold weather area it could be activated by that. If it persists more than 2 weeks get it checked out. Good luck.

It started out feeling like my bones were aching then i started to have pain in my left leg , shoulders, neck and back. And paresthesia in my left arm. I went to the emergency room and the doctor and was told it was sciatica and tense muscles probsbly from stress.. after about 3 weeks of this the leg pain and paresthesia went away but i was still having neck and back pain, headaches, muscle twitches . Now i just started having those same symptoms in my rifht side.
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.
My muscle cramping has disappeared as has the leg pain. Granted I have sciatica that nothing touches but the leg pain I was experiencing was not associated with my chronic pain.
So if you have not had a battery of lab tests to check the levels I mentioned I would encourage you to request them. Your pain may be related to the Fibro progression but in my opinion it wouldn't hurt to cover all your bases.
I assume with your diagnosis you are being monitored and treated by a rheumatologist.
What diagnostic tests were done already? The pain in your back and leg could be due to neurological issues as well and imaging studies like a CT scan or MRI may help identify the possible cause. A complete neurological examination is also important. There are a variety of migraine medications and it may take several tries for you to determine the best medicine suited for you. Take care and do keep us posted.
I am sorry you are hurting. We all know that pain is no fun. Do you take medication to control your pain? If not I recommend that you consult your PCP or find a good Pain Management Clinic is you are experiencing chronic pain.
I do not know a lot about your Syndrome other than when nerves are effected it can be painful. It would make sense to me that your new pain could be related to the Guillain-Barre-Syndrome. I hate to say the obvious but I would report this new symptom to your physician.
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.

m also on Lyrica along with methadone and oxycodone for chronic low back/leg pain. The Lyrica is for my leg pain, which is caused by "nerve pain" as my doctor tells me. I think it may also have some antidepressant qualities, or something like that. I should know, since I have been taking it since the drug went on the market! I'm going to do a little research and find out what I can about Lyrica, just "for the fun of it"!.
OTC meds do nothing for the pain. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia several yrs ago but I believe it has nothing to do with it. I started having probs after being put on Lovastatin. I have quit taking it and take 1200mg of fish oil and 41 mg of baby aspirin daily. The other pains I had while taking statin have went away but the leg issue has been going on for 6-8 months. I asked the dr about it and he said it was something(?) common for my age. There has to be an answer somewhere.
Hi,
You symptom of pain on the left side of chest and no energy can be due to costochondritis and fibromyalgia. Costochondritis affects 50-60% women with fibromyalgia.
The exact reason is not known.

My doctors has referred me to a rheumotolgist and suspects this could be my diagnosis. One thing that boggles his mind is that my leg pain is not present on a good day until I am lying down for more than 30 minutes then horrible aching begins. My sed rate is also high but RA and Lupus test came back negative. Doew this sound like arthritus or fibromyalgia?
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?
Over the past year My Doctor has treated me for Bursitis with cortisone injections and spinal block but to no avail. The pain is now in my entire left leg, left shoulder and arm along with headaches on the left side of my head and neck. My profession is equestrian/trainer and it has become increasingly more difficult to work with the horses. When I ride if I ride for over two hours I am in tears! I used to ride for 8-12 hours in a day. I am afraid and do not have any answers. Any suggestions?
I'm a 26 year old female with extreme pain in my lower back that sometimes travels down my right leg. i have morning and evening stiffness, headaches at least once a week, and extreme fatigue. My ESR is 33 and my C-Reactive(non-cardio) is 12. So there is obviously something going on inside me but none of the doctors can tell me whats wrong or give me a clue on how to reduce my pain. I'm at my wits ends with all this sense its been going on for more than 10 years.
So, I started a water therapy class at the YMCA. After about 20 min. I couldn't control my legs/balance. The teacher, who has fibromyalgia, said that the whirlpool would help. When I tried to go into the whirlpool, I instantly felt nauseous from the pain and had to get out. The next day, I lost control of my legs and fell down the stairs. I am starting to get numbness/tingles in my hands and feet. Yesterday, when I got out of the pool, I could barely walk, because my legs felt so heavy.
