4861077 tn?1360156139 Your doctor will be able to prescribe an antidepressant and a narcotic analgesic that are effective in relieving the pain in individuals suffering from fibromyalgia. Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs are also advised in certain instances. Make sure you get plenty of rest so that you do not get overtired. Some moderate forms of exercise like aerobics will also help with regard to the stiffness. Acupuncture, yoga, massage therapy and magnetic therapy may also be useful.
Avatar m tn I suffer Fibromyalgia and recently been having a great deal of pain, tenderness and discomfort in my hands and feet. Is this related to the fibro or could it be something else?
Avatar f tn neck, shoulders, upper back, lower back, hips, chest, breast bone (especially to the sides of it), left arm, abdomen Muscles are tender when I touch them, especially arms and thighs Hypoglycemia Weight Gain I've had heart tests, stomach tests, blood tests. Nothing shows up. I'm getting very frustrated and discouraged! Does this sound like it could be fibromyalgia?

Avatar n tn i have sharp pain in my legs feet hands shoulders and neck that came on about 3 days ago it goes away with motrin, but as soon as the motrin wears off it comes right back what could these symptoms be...
Avatar m tn We have started acupuncture which has been quite good so far, his pain has reduced. He is now missing lots of school, originally due to fatigue and chest pain and last week due to nausea. Are the doctors correct in their diagnosis, can anyone suggest a way forward or shed any light on a similar experience?
735919 tn?1236444549 I am 30yrs old and i am taking Cymbalta for my Fibromyalgia pain but i have to stop it do to my insurance. It works REALLY well for my pain. I wanted to know if anyone is taking Lyrica for their pain and if it works.
Avatar f tn m also sorry to hear about your pain. I also have fibro (as well as other chronic pain issues) and I do also get pain in my hands and fingers, however, I do also have arthritis in my hands, so I'm not 100% sure how much of the pain is fibro pain and how much is arthritic pain. It IS typical for fibro pain to be worse in the mornings, so that part of your pain description is not surprising to me for fibro.
1168938 tn?1327154232 I have many issues and asked rheumatologist if I could have fibromyalgia, she said I don't fit criteria what do you think? Joint issues, muscles pains, sleepless nights, depression, cognitive issues, brain fog, always tired, IBS, Gerd, cramps in hands, hips and feet, temperature varies from boiling hot to cold, weakness in muscles and twitching, difficulty walking I'm unsteady on my feet and that's just a few of my symptoms.
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 m tn ve read that fibromyalgia is known for the burning feeling especially of feet and hands. I imagine this is nerve pain so there is also something called erythmelagia. This is often in the feet though but can also show in hands but usually they are red too. It involves the sensory nerves. Here's some information on fibromyalgia to read over in the mean time and let me know what you think.
Avatar n tn Also, from everything I read about fibromyalgia, the pain is intense, more like a nerve pain, and someone will hurt even if they are touched. My pain is more like a muscle pain and stiffness. Are there different degrees of fibromyalgia? Does fibromyalgia cause the feeling of swollen hands? I am very confused with my diagnosis, and don't want to take the Cymbalta just yet, until I at least start PT to see if that makes me feel any better. I appreciate any help I can get! Thank you.
Avatar n tn //www.webmd.com/fibromyalgia/guide/fibromyalgia-pain#1. Pain with skin and pressure points can indeed be a sign of fibromyalgia. Please stop back and give us an update.
1340994 tn?1374193977 Simply Ludicrous!!! Sorry to burst everyone's bubble but this is insane to my opinion. I mean no disrespect to all of you that can relate to this "symptom" presented in the study, as it is absolutely real, but it is important to distinguish between an abnormality and an actual cause. Thanks for sharing this Caryopteris, as it makes an interesting topic for discussion and argument and I will of course take the contrarian position.
Avatar f tn At first she said I had RA, which would explain my joint pain and low white blood cell count, but now she says I have Fibromyalgia because the tests for RA came back negative and my hands don't look like RA hands. I tried to tell her from the research I've done I can have sero-negative RA which would mean that I would be less likely to have the nodules she is looking for but doctor's know best apparently.
Avatar f tn Thank you for answering. I am 55 years old. No history of diabetes or hypertension. I have had numerous blood tests, and MRI to rule out MS, lupus, diabetes. Everything came back O.K., except Rheumatoid Arthritis showed up low to moderate level.
Avatar f tn I went thru 48 months of treatment developed fibromyalgia and worsened joint and bone pain. I have lost a lot of dexterity in my hands and fingers don't have a lot of feeling at the tips, but that's from the treatment. Pre-treatment I had a lot of winter arthritis-like pain in my joints and hands. Don't know if this helps, but I'm new to this forum. Wish I'd seen it when I was on treatment.
Avatar f tn 7 weeks of torture. Sudden onset of skin redness with stinging/burning pain when I use my hands (folding clothes, flexing hand, etc.) also happens to feet (when standing, walking, etc.) When I try clothes on it seems to be happening to my entire body. This is a 24 hour condition, if I rest gets better but any activity/movement/touch redness appears with pain. I have also noticed that I've been getting a lot of burning on top of my head and some sinus pressure.
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 Chronic muscle pain, muscle spasms or tightness, weakness in the limbs, and leg cramps Moderate or severe fatigue and decreased energy Insomnia or waking up feeling just as tired as when you went to sleep Stiffness upon waking or after staying in one position for too long Difficulty remembering, concentrating, and performing simple mental tasks Abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and constipation alternating with diarrhea (irritable bowel syndrome) Tension or migraine headaches Jaw and fa
Avatar m tn My pain started when I reached over the couch and felt a pop and suddenly my entire body was engulfed in pain. That was 12 years ago and nothing has changed. It’s nice to have people that experience the same thing that can help.

2010625 tn?1329372056 My hands sometimes cramp when holding my phone to my ear or just from holding a drink in my hand. I get pain in my arms and hands just from driving. The other day I was just at my computer typing for about 30 minutes and my arm cramped up so bad I was crying from the pain...I don't know maybe I am just a wus, lol.
Avatar f tn I have chronic pain. I have had my gall bladder removed, part of my small bowel removed (due to endometriosis), mesh put in my abdomen from a hernia and a hysterectomy. My last surgery was approx 3 years ago. Since then, I have had loose yellow bowel movements, chronic pain in my abdomen, shoulders, knees, feet and hands. Cymbalta helped but caused constipation. With that being said and the research I have done, my question is: Is it possible that I have fibromyalgia?
