fibromyalgia

996946 tn?1503249112 Is it possible for fibromyalgia to "settle" in your knees? Over the last 10-15 yrs I first had severe elbow pain, thought it was from carrying my purse and heavy shopping bags, then my pain gradually moved to my feet "ie." plantar fasciatis, had cortisone injections in feet and before that in elbows. Could the pain, dull ache, in any position be caused by sciatic nerve pressure or arthritis or fibromyalgia? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn s and they are not working. Do you think the weakness in the legs is a symptom for fibromyalgia and how about the hip pain is that the same from fibromyalgia? I do have an appointment with a orthopedic doctor because I also have pain in both of my knees for years now and I can not Neil down and get back up with out someone helping me. ( comes with severe pain ) or climb stairs. Hopefully you can answer some questions for me.
Avatar f tn I hurt all the time. My fingers, wrists, elbows, lower back, knees, ankles. Random pain all over not in my joints. Occasionally I'll get a rash below my knees and from my elbows to my hands. It's not a raised rash, but it looks kind of like rust. Like you can see a bunch of tiny blood vessels below the skin. It does not itch and isn't painful. Sed rate westergren was 23 and my c reactive protein quant was 14. Any advice is appreciated.
Avatar f tn I have sharp pains mainly in the knees that shoots down the Shin. My elbows and knees get stiff if I bend them to long, my bladder hurts and I had a hysterectomy 10yrs ago but my inside feel like they r falling out. I get sharp pains in my knees shoulder blades, elbow, ankles but it’s not constant some days I have no pain at all. Does anyone else do this? I have a dr appt on Monday and I’m gonna see if they still think that’s what it is.
Avatar n tn I will go see a cardologist for that next week, in the mean time was put on prednisone to help bring down the inflammation. The MRI and CT Scan did not show this, my doctor told me when she felt underneath the right side of the chin, (where it is tender and swollen) it feels hard around my artery. I would not let this go for very long, go get checked.
Avatar m tn I have fibromyalgia and I get horrible pains in my legs (radiates up and down from my knee most of the time) and other places... however I have never found that anti-inflammatory or pain medication to relieve these symptoms. Because there is no physical reason for fibromyalgia pain to occur (no inflammation, weird blood tests, visible damage, etc.) that is often why it is so hard to diagnose and why pain meds and etc. normally do not work on people with this disorder.
Avatar f tn There is Plantar Fasciitis in at least the right right foot with increased pain in that ankle. The whole calf shin area feels severely achy, cramped, burning and stinging. I requested and received an increase in MS Contin because the pain, as well as my lower back and pelvis, has increased or I guess I may becoming tolerant to the medication. I have not had an answer as to what this is from a doctor as of yet, that includes my physiatrist, primary care, and an orthopedic physician.

1245842 tn?1287830051 Is this the Norm for Fibromyalgia Patients or does anyone think ther might be something else other than the Fibro, Oh ive got Osteoarthritis in my Knees aswell and that started after the crash also. Someone plz talk to me. Im really at breaking point, im not coping at all. Sorry for the Essay!!
Avatar f tn Neck is the one that constantly hurts no matter what I’m doing, laying down standing walking, anything. The pain is in the cervical spine area between around the occipital bone and the transverse and spinous processes area. Trying to sleep is terrible. Lay on my side, both my hips and my knees hurt. Lay on my back, my lower back kills. Tuck my knees to my chest to make my lower back feel better and my hips cramp and hurt.
Avatar n tn For the last year and a half I have been having a lot of issues with the fibromyalgia. Back in August of 07 I started stumping, loosing my balance and falling. Back in October I fell and broke my right leg. My question is loosing your balace, falling, etc. part of the fibromyalgia.
Avatar n tn would a pinch nerve in the upper back ,neck erea cause the feeling of off balance and discomfort in my quads ?
Avatar f tn I've been struggling with health issues for a year now, that started off with a suspected duodenal ulcer. I was very ill with that, then my father was hospitalized with severe illness. This was quite a traumatic event for me, and since then I've had a lot of health issues.
Avatar f tn My knees have been giving out do to havin fibromyalgia. My life has changed in so many ways. Its hard to get around my own house. And I live in pittsbrugh were there's nothin but hills. I can't walk up them anymore. Will this ever go away so I can continue to be 27 and get oldder and not be old now.
1532491 tn?1294594944 I had always thought it was weird how much my knees and wrist crack. But now my back and hip crack a lot too. And some days ill get the worst pain in all of those joints. Do you think it could be something bad? Please help. P.s. I dont purposely crack them. I just move and they crack. And the hip cracking, is that weird? Ive never heard of it before (i also have a problem with cracking my fingers and neck a lot and those hurt sometimes too.) P.P.S whenever i move some of my joints crack.
Avatar f tn I had every test, MRI showed white matter spots(it is normal to have 1 per decade of life), I had 5 then 6 mos later 7 or 8. Luckily it was not in the area of MS, but still it was a sign of some kind of autoimmune disorder. As time and test went on, they checked for epilepsey, but I have Epileptic Form Activity, but not Epilepsey. Severe myoclonic jerks.I also had extreme hyper reflex and sensitivity to light sounds and light touches, would cause me to jerk.
977308 tn?1248234208 I am wondering if I have fibromyalgia or lupus or something. Lately my body has been in a lot of pain. I am having majior pain all over my body, tired all the time, bowel problems, dizzy. Today I got little red dots all over my knees. I so tired of not feeling well.
Avatar f tn The past few months the pain is worse and has spread to other parts of my body. I wake up in the morning with a headache, pain at the base of my skull, my neck so stiff it takes an hour to work out the stiffness, the top of my feet are stiff & painful when I start to walk when I get out of bed or if I have been sitting for a while. My knees get stiff & hurt so bad it feels like I'm being stabbed each time I bend my knees to walk....
Avatar m tn One day not long ago I got on my knees and it felt like the skin on the inside of my right knee by the knee cap was ripping. I do not have any bumps, or numbness or anything like that. With in the last couple of weeks the left knee is experiencing the same thing, just not as painful.
Avatar f tn my husband has had fibromyalgia for 29 years, in the last 3 months he has bad headaches on the top of his headache. They never go away. We have had mri, scan etc. was hoping someone knew if fibro causes headaches.
1040744 tn?1253048126 I also experience stiffness, and pain in the muscles surrounding my joints. I had all the tests run for Lupus, RA, Lyme Disease , Vitamin D deficiency and they all came back negetive. I changed doctors and am having her do all the tests again ( just in case). She also indicated that it could be a thyroid issue or an unseen infection. She is testing me for thses as well. Hopefully I get to a resoulution soon. I definately feel what you are going through.
551343 tn?1506830518 I have since started to have pain in my back, in my knees, in my hands, in my feet, in my hips, and my wrist tendons are really inflamed and swollen. Numbness now in both hands and sometimes in my toes, and more recently numbness in my face. I also have many other neruo symptoms, which is what's prompted the testing, but I just wanted to share my input on the Pain. Living in pain day in and out is terrible, no matter what disease you may or may not have.
Avatar f tn go get checked
Avatar f tn 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? and Is fibromyaligia caused by a mental disorder such as anxiety or depression?
Avatar f tn When they got so bad about 5 years ago that I could barely walk, the orthopedic specialist did an MRI and found that each meniscus was torn, the cartilage was shredded, and there was significant arthritic bone in BOTH knees. After surgery in both knees to repair all the above problems, as well as Euflexa injections (and losing about 40 pounds), I have NO problems with my knees! You talked about the severe pain in your knees. Have you had an orthopedic specialist take a look at them?
