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.
Avatar f tn where just slight pressure causes pain. There are no diagnostic test to confirm this diagnosis. Along with this pain, many suffer with additional symptoms such as fatigue, pain in muscles after use can make some people nearly bedridden. Some physician's think its an autoimmune disorder. Over sensitive nerves under the skin. Causes are unknown. Some have experienced these symptoms after a traumatic injury, or perhaps a stressful event. There is no cure only symptom management.
Avatar n tn Hi there, ive had all the symptoms your suffering, I recently found out it was from my muscle relaxers! You cant be on them for long other wise you can suffer from 'benzo withdrawal' which causes chronic muscle and joint pain, dizziness, etc!!! I was close to having a fusion until i got off the drugs!!!! Please look into what your taking!!! From a concerned person whom has been living in pain for many years!!!
Avatar m tn ve got one with enough Vit D, Magnesium and Potassium. Fibromyalgia causes muscle pain and sometimes it can be so intense it feels like a bruise at times. I know because that is how I've described it to my doctor. You may want to look into Mitochondrial Disease. That is something I've been doing a lot of research on these days. You can google it. Good luck.

Avatar n tn If i have muscle pain in about every muscle in my body , and I also have osteoarthritis all through my spine could this be from the ostesoarthritis or would it be something like muscle atrophy, and is there any thing that can be done for it. i am never pain free.
Avatar n tn I also have fibromyalgia but have never experienced any muscle pains in my stomach. I do know that some people have areas that are affected worse than others throughout different parts of the month, but I would check with your Doc about the stomach pain. Mine is mostly centered around my hips, knees and ankles...but I also have a more mild pain allover.
Monster ### FIBROMYALGIA SYMPTOMS Pain — The primary symptom of fibromyalgia is widespread (diffuse), chronic, and persistent pain. The pain may be described as a deep muscular aching, soreness, stiffness, burning, or throbbing. Patients may also feel numbness, tingling, or unusual “crawling” sensations in the arms and legs.
Avatar f tn Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain in your muscles, ligaments and tendons, as well as fatigue and multiple tender points — places on your body where slight pressure causes pain. Fibromyalgia is more common in women than in men. Previously, fibromyalgia was known by other names such as fibrositis, chronic muscle pain syndrome, psychogenic rheumatism and tension myalgias.
Avatar f tn 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. http://www.webmd.
Avatar n tn I am having difficulties everyday getting up from bed and doing my regular routine. I am always tire, body ache, muscle pain and lossing interest doing and enjoying the things I use to enjoy.
Avatar n tn Hi Ricky, There is a condition called myofascial pain syndrome. Simply put it is muscle pain. A rheumatologist can help with this diagnosis. I would begin there. HIV is extremely difficult to contract. The rates are very low. Obviously it is not impossible but you should try to relax. Stress and worry can cause all kinds of physical symptoms. Our mind can play tricks with out body. They are so connected. Good luck to you. Make that appt and ease your mind. Best of luck to you.
780647 tn?1304020942 if you have explainable chronic muscle pain you may want to talk to a Dr about fibromyalgia.
Avatar m tn I have been on Lyrica and Cymbalta for the fibromyalgia and that has helped my pain level somewhat. I also take Zanaflex (a muscle relaxer) to help with sleep, pain and the back tension. When was your last MRI? I would try to have a recent one to rule out future degeneration. I am in constant pain but when I experience a flare up of my fibromyalgia; it intensifies the pain ten fold. I wish you luck and in the absence of medication I would try to take ibuprofen. Good luck.
Avatar f tn Other symptoms can include moderate to severe fatigue, a heightened and painful response to gentle touch (allodynia), needle-like tingling of the skin, muscle aches, prolonged muscle spasms, weakness in the limbs, nerve pain, functional bowel disturbances and chronic sleep disturbances. Diagnosis is by clinical examination and history of the patient. Antidepressant drugs,analgesics and muscle relaxants have been used frequently to treat fibromyalgia.
Avatar f tn you had commented on my post "lumps and pain unknown causes" well i just got the results back from my unltra sound and they said there isn't any masses or cysts and now i have to get an mri and they also did more blood work and now my white blood count is low and my potassium is also low but isnt low enough to cause a worry, they are at loss they have no idea what is going on with me, where is dr. House when you need him lol, its a tv show.
Avatar f tn 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. Along with the muscle twitches and back pain And headaches. Im not sure if this seems like fibromyalgia or not? I have also been having very severe anxiety and panic attacks for the past 3 months. But ive had GAD for 10 years and never had such painful symptoms 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.
Avatar f tn no inflammation, which supported the earlier Dx of Fibro. There is no clear test for fibro - all they can do is rule out everything else they can think of that is causing your symptoms. Good luck.
Avatar n tn Left is worse than the right, if I bump my arm or if someone sqeezes my arm, even lightly it causes me more pain. My arms hurt all the the time, I wake up in pain. I am 19 yrs old and have been having this pain since I was about 11 yrs old. I have been to a Rheumatologist, Orthopedic, Muscle specialist and Surgeon. I have had MRIs, Xrays and an EEG...nothing! The pain is always there, please please help.
Avatar n tn A generalized muscle tenderness and aches would go more in favor of fibromyalgia. However, in your case the pain in only in arms and legs. Fibromyalgia cannot be ruled out. You must however look for causes of peripheral neuropathy like those associated with diabetes, hypothyroidism, chronic involvement of liver or kidney, chronic alcohol use. Vascular pathologies like atherosclerosis, deep vein thrombosis too should be ruled out.
Avatar n tn Fibromyalgia is an important condition of chronic fatigue which causes severe muscle pain, with muscle spasms in chest. Costochondritis, can have a sharp chest wall pain worsened by movement, direct pressure on that area. Costochondritis can be a part of certain diseases like fibromyalgia, psoriatic arthritis,ankylosing spondylitis etc.
Avatar n tn ) and polymyalgia rheumatica (an inflammatory disorder that causes widespread muscle aching and stiffness, primarily in your neck, shoulders, upper arms, thighs and hips. It literally appears overnight, but the cause may be a problem with the immune system, perhaps involving both genetic and environmental factors).
Avatar n tn An underactive thyroid is treated with thyroid replacement hormones such as Synthroid. Fibromyalgia has been treated with muscle relaxers such as Flexeril, antidepressants such as Cymbalta, and pain management like gabepentin (Lyrica).
Avatar n tn Strained muscles and sprained ligaments are among the most common causes of shoulder pain. This usually occurs when excessive pressure, often from exercising too much, causes the tissue to stretch too much or excessively, causing them to become damaged or torn. Pulled muscular tissue and pinched nerves are other possibilities. Apply warm compresses on the shoulder muscles and some muscle relaxant.
Avatar f tn For the past maybe two-two and a half months I've been dealing with a lot of symptoms. Lately I've realized I always have a fluctuating fever. It will be normal, a low grade fever and even up to 101.
2010625 tn?1329372056 I was just wondering what causes Fibromyalgia? Can Anxiety, Depression/Bipolar, IBS, or Genital Herpes cause it?
Avatar m tn If the chest pain is aggravated by laughing yawning, moving in certain directions, stretching and deep breathing, then it goes more in favor of costochondritis, which causes pain and tenderness at points where your ribs attach to your breastbone. The inflammation around the joint area gives sharp pain on taking a breath. This can also cause tenderness on pressing the area which pains. An orthopedic doctor can diagnose this for you. Generally there is no cause.
