I'm going to try the gluten thing, but I'm in the same boat as a lot of the folks on this forum. Also, constipation seems to result from the muscle tightness though it may also be the cause or symptom of a larger correlated issue (i.e. gluten).
I've found that regular exercise varying between cardio, strength training, and flexibility provide all of the balance needed to "reallign" myself without alternative treatments. I still pop, but doing so is natural and effortless as opposed to previous straining to pop and hopefully alleviate the discomfort.
Obviously this does take some dedication and knowledge of anatomy/physiology to target push/pull muscles and prevent further injury, but I honestly feel our global society has taken advantage of medicine in lieu of common sense to where the mind-body connection is no longer respected as a necessity.
If depression is associated with muscle pain, fatigue, constipation, and other symptoms commonly described by all of these replies, I highly recommend a gradually increasing exercise routine first (no pain no gain, but don't kill yourself if you are un-athletic), and attention to diet second.
The triptoline sisters ami and nori are known to have you craving carbs like mad,try cymbalta ask your dr.
I have had fibromyalgia for twenty plus years,it needs to be diagnosed by a dr. And he will perform a trp test this is equal and reactive pain on both sides of the body at all the joint sites.they want me to get acupuncture but no one is stickin pins in me.but good luck to you.just be honest and direct with your symptoms, if your answers seem off,get a second,third or fourth opinion.everyone has one right...good luck.thay
I have had all of these same issues. I have not gotten rid of all of my symptoms/pain, but they do not slow me down anymore. My advice is research, research, research.... I did mine! I found: do not stop moving! I mean do not cause acute pain, but be as active as possible while avoiding acute pain. Only dead things stop moving! Nutrition: eat as healthy as possible! I completely cut out gluten, which got rid of my pain almost completely. Considering it promotes inflammation, which is pains arch enemy (or friend, depending on how you look at it) it was no surprise. Yoga and stretching: we are all breaking down slowly that is just the nature of life, but we can aide in slowing the process down. Also if it does not work get rid of it. I mean how can you expect different result if you keep following the same pattern, hence the very definition of insanity. Above all keep positive no matter what! You are living, are you not? Life is pain, and love, happiness, etc etc. It beats the alternative.... Which, unless your a complete idiot you know what that is! So get on with your life, and figure out what you need to do to feel better and better. Do not leave it in the hands of your doctors. They are just "practicing" medicine. Chances are no one cares more about you than you, so love yourself and in return you will be loved back!
Mine is very similar to yours! Ligaments burn, crack all over. Hands, feet, ankles, back, knees. Hands go numb in a matter of minutes and they Draw up a lot. I'm 44 and scared to death. I have anxiety issues and was on Xanax from 19 to 29 years old. Need it again, BUT... I have unexplained major back pain. X-rays negative, only show a little arthritis. I just filled for SSI because I can't work any longer and have no insurance! Where does one begin to find out whats wrong? I have also had depression and chronic fatigue.
Have u any kind of itching at any part of ur body.
Actually i too had similar problem of cracking all over the body. But previous to that i got some intestinal infection which is still not cured which shows symptoms of anal itching....... I strongly believe that there is a relation between small intestine health and these bone joint health, both of which are effected by an infection....
Any one had similar problem, pls reply..............
