fibromyalgia pain specialist

This doesn't really sound like fibromyalgia and if it's a chronic problem you need to see a specialist. You also need to have the chest pain evaluated. Your primary care doctor might be s gôod place to start.

I have been experiencing several uncomfortable symptoms for about 12 years now and I’m wondering what specialist I should see. Here is a list of my symptoms (may or may not be related to one another): Asymmetrical joint pain (shoulders, knees, ankles, wrists, hips…all sporadic) Irritability Increased anxiety/anxiety attacks Increased sweating/blushing I have had two pregnancies over the past three years and have been breastfeeding for over two years.

Had anyone seen a rheumatoid specialist for this condition? Are they offering any treatments for it, other than the standard antidepressant treatment? Those treatments don't work for me, and there is no need to waste the money seeing a specialist for an antidepressant treatment that a family doctor could give me. My symptoms of chronic fatigue seemed to start with Epstein Barr, now I have the joint/nerve pain.

5 million Hepatitis c and Fibromyalgia has some similar symptoms of Fatigue, Weakness, Nausea therefore her hepatologist will state it is not the hepatitis it is fibromyalgia the Rheumatologist will state it is not your Fibromyalgia it is your hepatitis c therefore no one really wants to take the responsibility of her. Last year she started the treatment for her Hepatitis C after 2.

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?

The pain sensitivity may change during the menstrual period and hence the perception of increased pain. Fibromyalgia patients may also experience an increase in mood swings and dysmenorrhea, menstrual pain strong enough to disrupt day-to-day activities. Women whose fibromyalgia symptoms worsen during their menstrual periods experience a steadier pattern of fibromyalgia symptoms after menopause, though not necessarily a lessening of them. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

I was just wondering if anyone has ever tried going to a pain management specialist for fibro? If they even know how to help. Every time I go to my reg. doc I pass by an office and have been tempted to check it out. I don't even know how that works with my insurance... Anyhow, whats everyone's experiences with these guys if anyone has??

Hi about 20 years ago I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, I was also told at that time by an infectious disease doctor that I had EBV. I feel there is something else wrong with me because if I do what the doctors say then I'm in so much pain I can't move, I've had catatonic states, I can not control my body temperature if I get to cold it's like I have hypothermia, and if I get to hot it's like heat exhaustion.

Fibromyalgia, because the illness causes a whole array of symptoms and no one person with Fibromyalgia has the exact same symptoms as another person has, but all of us do suffer pain and fatigue. Someone else will have to comment on the Suboxone, though, as I personally am not familiar with that one.

Have you tried Lyrica? I have CFS with FM type pain and my specialist put me on Lyrica (50 mg) earlier this year. After a period of adjustment (I was very, very sleepy for several weeks) the improvement has been noticeable. I still have to take pain killers, but do not get the awful debilitating all-over pain I used to feel. If people around you are not sympathetic, have you considered joining a self-help group? They can be sources of support and of ideas for coping.

I have severe Fibromyaliga pain mostly in my back between my shoulder blades. The pain is so severe that without treatment I would need a wheelchair to get around. I've been taking Tramadol 100mg for 3 years but its slowly losing its effect and I'm finding my pain getting worse again. So I am now looking for either an entirely new medication or something I can take on top of the Tramadol to help ease the pain.

s done to try to find out what was wrong with me as I started having headaches, neck pain, back pain, tingling and numbness in hands and feet and weight bearing feeling on shoulders. My quality of life was going down hill quickly. The Mri showed that I had Low lying tonsils and Syringomyelia (syrinx in Thorasic spine) I then saw a NS who said that due to my symptoms he would recommend surgery. I was scheduled to have Decompression surgery 011411.

First thing: have you been thoroughly tested by your physicians or maybe a pain specialist and/or infectious disease doctor (RE: ear and sinus infections)? If not I believe that should be done as soon as possible. Second: are you receiving adequate medication to relieve the fibromyalgia? Some people need antidepressants (like Cymbalta--it is an antidepressant but also helps pain) as well as pain medication, even an antianxiety. Do you feel you are adequately medicated against all this pain?

s are unable to locate the source of your pain I would move on to specialist. If you need a referral ask for one. Be assertive. Because you are so young physicians are more likely to discount serious possibilities or less likely to diagnosis life long pain syndromes such as fibromyalgia. I am not suggesting that you have such a condition. I am just encouraging you to seek out answers. Best of luck to you. Remember that we are here to support you and offer our suggestions.

hello all new to this forum i have ibs for a few yrs now and was just wondering does it go hand in hand with fibromyalgia,my muscles lately are always tired esp around my shoulders and seem to get a lot of chest pain under arms comes and goes a lot at night time .even if i exercise and i do everyday my muscles ache and i am by no means over doing it.

I have fibromyalgia. I have been told by a rheumatologist and fibromyalgia specialist that I have chronic fatigue as well as painful fibromyalgia symptoms. Does this mean I have CFS. One doctor said chronic fatigue but not chronic fatigue 'syndrome'. He said it was significant because my fatigue and symptoms started after a viral infection. The other doctor said he felt Fibromyalgia was a spectrum disorder which included chronic fatigue. So do I have CFS as well as Fibromyalgia?

I reccomend that you make an appointment with a pain management specialist. They should be able to diagnose you, that is how I got diagnosed. After talking to the doctor, he knew that I had it, but after he examined me, he was positive about it. I wish you the best of luck.

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.

He is the doctor who diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia. I had severe pain, headaches, Fatigue, sleep problems. With his help I have gotten so much better. Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue syndrome is what he specializes in. You can visit his website at http://drlapp.net/ At his website you will find his office number. That you can call. I hope that this helps !

ve read that doctors say that taking opioids for the pain have not really been proven to help with fibromyalgia pain, but for me they do wonders. Not only do they relieve my pain substantially, they give me a boost of energy I have never had.
