fibromyalgia pain with exercise

You could see a rheumatologist who specialize with fibromyalgia, but make sure that the rheumatologist is reputable, that is, that the doctor is with a major University or a major medical facility. There is still a lot of ignorance among some doctors about fibromyalgia. The medications to treat fibromyalgia are very different from the usual pain pills.

I have now seen the rheumatologist and have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia can any advise me as to what help I can get as some days these pains can be life limiting am finding it hard to even peel potatoes need advice thanks

I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. But also my doctor said that my vitamin D level was low so she put me on 50,000 units of it. I was wondering could my vitamin D level being low have anything to do with my fatigue and flu-like feeling? What are the usual symptoms of vitamin D level being low????

I was diagnosed with CFS in 1994 then a few years later with fibromyalgia. Now I am having a lot of problems with edema and a different type of pain. Having the diagnosis of CFS & Fibro, any symptoms gets written off to them. The pain is always worse in the morning as is the edema. My ankles and feet feel like concrete in the morning. The edema effects my hands, feet and I also have periorbital edema. The mornings are alway the worst.

I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, all that my doctor tells me to do is Exercise, and it's not working ( I don't really think she knows about Fibromyalgia). I was wondering if you could tell me anything that would help with my fibromyalgia symptoms. Some of my symptoms include: severe fatigue, severe pain and muscle soarness, headache, flu - like feeling all the time.

Gatell (also in Atlanta). He is a quack. Now I am just back with my GP who manages the pain meds and anxiety. There just seems no where to go from here. I am so tired of doctors and treatments and different things to try. I am mentally and physically spent. I am now on adderall to help me wake and stay awake so I can perform tasks during the day but I always am in pain!

I suffer deep muscle pain in my left leg. First the pain began behind the knee and calf muscle now it's my thigh. It was so bad last night I screamed from the pain and my daughter wanted to call 911. It lasted a longer time it was like a huge charley horse in my thigh. And after walking about it finally stopped but was still sore. Today it isn't like that intense pain but still hurts. I am a type II diabetic who works at exercising and my daughter thinks that maybe I over did it.

More over i found a higher connection of my pain problem with fibromyalgia and Myofascial Pain Syndrome (which i guess is a part of chronic fatigue syndrome, if i m not wrong)... I also tried to find treatments for these problems and found tht, my pains hv no origin and thy start anytime and go away anytime without any sensible explanation...so i thought may b cognitive behaviour therapy, graded exercise therapy or therapy for nociceptive system might help...

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.

Exercise is one of the best remedies for fibromyalgia pain. weaning off the norco will be more mental than anything, but restless legs and generalized pain are some symptoms of decreasing the dose.

Having rheumatoid arthritis can be considered as a risk factor for fibromyalgia. A lack of vitamin D is associated with higher risk of rheumatoid arthritis. A correct intake of vitamin D, along with calcium is very important in protecting the health of our bones. Low vitamin D may lead to early progression of the disease. You need to see a specialist. Your doctor will advise you to start vitamin D supplements.

I take lots of supplements which help with the pain and other symptoms. There is a book by Daniel J. Wallace, M.D. and Janice Brock Wallace titled: Making Sense of Fibromyalgia. They know a lot about Fibromyalgia - the book is quite enlightening and if you find it, you will surely find the information you are looking for. Good health to you... fellow sufferer...

I am 50 years old and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia brought on by menopause. I have gained weight and lost so much muscle. I am so motivated to lose weight but nothing works. I have turned to a vegan lifestyle, walk 2.5 miles a day, religiously count my calories, and drink at least 48 oz of water a day if not more. I lost 1 pound in 2 weeks!!! Can anyone relate to what I am going through and give me some helpful advice...please???

Hi there - with fibro there are 18 tender spots and the chest where you describe is definitely one of them and one of the ones that bother me also so rest assured I'm sure that is all it is. With fibro many of us have IBS or other similar issues which could explain your weight loss. In order to receive the dianosis of Fibro you used to have to have 11 of the 18 tender points, have had pain for longer than 3 months and have pain in multiple quadrants of your body.

I know your frustration with exercise. I used to exercise all the time, 5 days a week. Now because of my knees and back problems (herniated discs) I can't even walk. I try to do some yoga and very light walking, like 10 minutes just to walk my dog. It's so difficult, I know.

Latley my hand feels num and cold and my movement is very limited. I have difficulty sleeping with this pain and now had been getting muscle pains in my calves, hamstrings and butt. I am have a hard time getting up from a chair and walking around because of these muscle pains. What is going on??

What do you do to help with the pain? Or to help stay positive. My anxiety and depression have gotten much worse because of things and I am just looking for ways to cope..

It is possible for even the worst of us Fibromyalgics to put our pain in remission with proper stress, diet, exercise and medication management. It just takes time and the right environment. Perhaps some cognitive therapy might be helpful? Don't give up. Fibromyalgia can be managed and improved.

i have been treated with hydrocodone for two years. i want to stop this because i don't want to depend on this med. i was put on gabapentin 100 it does help me fairly well but i noticed some weight gain and i don't eat too much with this med. the dr switched me to zonegram when i read the side effect of it can cause a rash which can cause death i threw it out. then we tried topamax. i was on it one night. i also have to take serequel 100 for anxiety and wellbutrin 300 and buspar 7.

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.
