Fibromyagia Pain

[michellexbx]

Can anyone please help me?  I suffer Fibromyalgia and recently been having a great deal of pain, tenderness and discomfort in my hands and feet.  Is this related to the fibro or could it be something else?

It sounds like you probably need to see your doctor.  It could be fibro-related but it could also be something else.  Have you noticed any color changes or temperature changes in your hands and feet?  Any swelling?  I have fibro but I also have RSD that we believe came from having so many surgeries.  RSD can come from several causes or sometimes for no apparent reason.  But it's something that needs to be diagnosed by your doctor.

I too suffer from the fibromyalgia as well as DDD, spondylithesis, neuropathy, etc.  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.

Hi I have similar symptoms and have tried ibuprofen with some success.  I also got a prescription for Neurontin that seems to give limited relief. Sometimes ice, heat or just resting helps  I wish you lots of luck.
