Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn Hey Suzy. Welcome to the forum. Oxycodone @ 10mg injected will produce the SAME results as morphine for most people. I'm mentioning this to point out that these types of drugs are opioid drugs, potentially habit forming narcotic drugs. The fact that they are prescribed legally, does not make them any less dangerous than street drugs, other than the fact that their "quality" and strength are consistent with what they claim.
Avatar m tn Is there a medical condition where a person have a very low sensitivity to pain, despite the kind of pain whether its a inner pain like stomach pain and broken bones or external pain like the amputation of a limb or a deep cut in skin ? I read about the term " Threshold of pain " ... which talks about the point where a person start to feel pain. Can someone have a very low point, that is to say, he won't be bothered with a broken bone ? or amputation of a arm or leg ?

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.
230948 tn?1235844329 Myofascial pain is often one of the "Monster List" symptoms of fibromyalgia. The medications you are currently taking should help numb the pain, but it won't alleviate it completely. The trigger point injections should help with this type of pain and any type of low-impact therapy will be of benefit to your rigidness and mobility.
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 Has anyone had joint pain in their shoulders that progressively got worse to the point of muscle weakness? I feel like it's something other than fibro. RA?
Avatar f tn From chest pain and rib pain to dizziness and tremors. At the begining of the year I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. And a few months ago hyperthyroidism. Some symptoms resolved and new ones show up. Now I have this pain in my armpit and it feels like it's swollen. I do not feel any swollen lymph nodes. I get pain into my ribs and a soreness that wraps around to my ribs in my back. I'm so sick of going to the dr.
Avatar f tn I went to several different doctors before I landed on a doc who has sort of specialized in FM. He treated me for almost a year with no luck in getting my pain to a tolerable point so he FINALLY let me go to a pain doctor. I cannot begin to tell you what a relief that was. The first perscription I got for percocet, I nearly cried from relief!! The pain meds certainly dont solve all of my FM problems but they sure make it easier to endure. The meds Im on now cut the pain tremendously.

Avatar m tn Recently, a randomized controlled study found that increasing vitamin D blood levels from a mean of 19 ng/mL to about 50 ng/mL was associated with a modest decrease in fibromyalgia pain (a 20 point decrease on a 100 point scale). The study involved 30 adults (mostly women) in Austria with fibromyalgia.
Avatar f tn Many individuals with other liver diseases do not suffer the pain seen in hepatitis C. And there is a high prevalence of fibromyalgia in hepatitis C patients; this is important for clinicians to appreciate, as the recognition of fibromyalgia in patient with hepatitis C will prevent assumptions of pain being due to liver disease—and perhaps allow for a more focused and correct treatment approach.
Avatar f tn Hi all- I am a 27 year old female suffering from a very severe case of fibromyalgia. It has left me bed ridden for weeks at a time and when the flare ups are bad nothing works. I have prescriptions for morphine and oxycodone but on bad days they don't touch the pain. I can't do massages because the fibro pressure points are too painful to be touched.
Avatar m tn I have fibromyalgia for 10 years now this is the worst pain I ever had. I went to a chiropractor that used a pro adjuster it was only after that the pain was unreal he said it should go away I went a couple more times didn't get better so my Dr sent me for a mri and it said I have all kinds of bulging disc that I didn't have before.
Avatar f tn I know this might sound far fetched but you said mucle aches and fatigue?? Have you been checked for fibromyalgia? I to have had pain in the rib region and around to the back for years ...Every kind of test done but nothing ever found. Mine is on the right side though. Two years ago I started in with muscle aches and fatigue to where i could not even get outta bed. I was sent back through a series of tests that concluded I had fibromyalgia.
1023657 tn?1251844941 One of them is exercise. Fibromyalgia pain is muscle pain and the most important therapy for muscle pain is regular, gentle and low-impact exercise. It keeps muscles conditioned and healthy and decreases the amount of discomfort. It is very important to try low-stress exercises such as walking, swimming, water aerobics, and biking rather than straining exercises such as weight training. Heavy exercises worsen the symptoms.
