fibromyalgia

Avatar f tn So sorry to hear about your pain. I have not had any "discectomy" which I don't fully understand, but I have been diagnosed with occipital nerve migraines which have been severe 24/7 and are thought to be caused by my carotid artery dissection stroke 3 years ago. I also suffer from fibromyalgia. The easist part of my answer is that 150 mg. of Trazadone has greatly helped my fibromyalgia.

Avatar f tn It is very difficult to get up from bed during morning. Gets some relief when some muscle pain relief oil is dabbed/massaged lightly on the pain areas. MRI full body was done but nothing abnormal on the spine or any other part has been found. She needs urgent medication as she is not able to tolerate any further. Looking for a good rheumatologist in India. Awaiting your early response.
Avatar m tn Gabapentin from the neuro did not help the pain, neuro sent us to rheum. who then diagnosed her with fibro. She has severe spinal and back pain (is walking fine now) and has severe fatigue. Her treatment was physical therapy. We go to aqua p/t once a week and have tried actupuncture. In our case it has shown no relief. We have an appt. with a new rheum next week at a large childrens hospital hoping for some further insite or direction.

4437575 tn?1354575286 Does anyone know if that has to do with my fibromyalgia? Or does anyone else have it? It started yesterday and it causes so much pain. It started in my knee and went down to my ankle and up to my hip and lower back. (right side) It was burning and stabbing and shooting pains. Now today it started doing it in my elbow (right side) to my fingers and to my shoulder. Burning and stabbing and shooting pains again. SideNote: I'm 19 and I've had fibro since I was 15.
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 n tn What can be done about the chronic Fibromyalgia pain when I am allergic to pain medicines or the pain relievers do not give relief.
Avatar n tn I visit my doctor regularly the last time about 2 months ago. Over the past few days I have developed severe pain in my left hip. The worst of the pain is on the top of my hip and radiates around to my back and to my abdomen area and down the front of my pelvis into the thigh. Tonight the pain is very bad on a scale of 1-10 it is a 9.5.. My leg nearly went out from underneath me a couple times. The bursitis has never been this bad before and I am not sure what is going on.
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 “The Fibromyalgia Handbook” By Harris H. McIlwain, Debra Fulghum Bruce, Debra Fulghum, Ph.D. (p 208) The use of magnesium in managing pain is becoming more popular. Research studies reveal conclusive proof that magnesium is an effective tool in pain management. These studies have shown that is actually neutralize pain producing chemicals.

Avatar f tn 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. I tried the Fentanyl patches and they didnt work very well on me. I still hurt way too much.
Avatar f tn If I would have listen to my post treatment body pain, made a pain diary and asked for relief....I think I would have been much happier in the post treatment experience. In fact, I'm taking my own advice and calling my doctor first thing this morning. I'm getting some help with this "it will get better with time" time!
Avatar f tn Have you tried antiinflammatories for regular pain and toradol for bad pain? Many of the medication they prescribe for fibromyalgia is non narcotic , but I can't recall the names off hand. I know many are on nuerotin for pain, but not sure it thats addicting. I know I was not much help, but wanted to tap in to say CONGRATS on all those clean years. Hope you get some long term relief.

Avatar f tn I do have fibromyalgia but the pain didn't feel like this until the last couple of months. I seem to be getting weaker, more joint pain and the deep prickly pain. Can't bare to stay in bed in the morning because it hurts to just lay there.
Avatar m tn I had a total colectomy in December of 2007 and have had severe diarrhea, gas, bloating, nausea and abdominal pain ever since. Marijuana gives me lasting relief less than 2 minutes after use. I made a new years resolution to quit because of it being illegal, but now I am back to suffering all those symptoms 24/7. I need advice- my doctors don't seem to want to get involved, but they do say it can be a Godsend for people with my symptoms. What to do, what to do?
Avatar f tn (I also have fibromyalgia.) I did stellate ganglion blocks for the nerve pain and have had varying relief with them. Maybe it's something you could ask about. Best of luck.
