How Or What Are The Signs And Symptoms Of Fibromyalgia
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I am perplexed. I have been going to pain management for back pain and bursitis. I have had several surgeries in the last 6 years. Back-bone sciatica on the right leg,Spurs and spondylitis. foot surgery right foot for bunion-with 4 posts in my toes guess cause of the hammer toe, both hands for carpel tunnel with 4 trigger fingers. Broken ankle on left foot. My feet swell and hurt.On the left lower back chronic pain hardly can function in the am till I have taken pain med down my left leg deep into my femor. I think something is wrong with my body. I just can't figure out all this dang pain. Some days I feel useless. Any idea or suggestions? I am sick of hurting I try not to take the pain med until I can not stand it any more. As I am typing this I have noticed 2 more trigger fingers on my right starting to flare. I feel that one could think of me as a hypercondriac. I have worked in the healthcare field for 30 years. I don't want to classified as a hypercondriac. I am to a point at wits end. Thank you for your ears...hope you can help.

Thank you for the suggestions. It's been awhile since last MRI, around 2009. To answer your questions about the meds I take are hydrocodone 7.25 a-325 3x daily and citrolpram 20 mg daily, aleve sometimes in between the hydrocodone.. If I don't take the hydrocodone I find it the pain unbearable. I took simvastin 40 mg but I quit taking it cause I thought it may be contributing to the leg pain. You mention a neurologist, what is your thought there? Again thank you for your reply.

Hello, Mary! How are you doing? I'm very sorry that you're in pain.

Have you tried consulting a neurologist and a rheumatologist?

Those are the doctors you'd need to see to have this all checked out and really get some answers as to what's going on.

When was your last MRI? Have any x-rays been done recently?

What medication do you take?
