Hi antiaj4

Sounds a bit like giant cell not sure if that's the right words my sister has that and had the same symptoms. But best go get it checked out at your gp to make sure. Wish you well let me know how you get on. Jude

Hi anitaj4

I am so sorry to read that you have been suffering in this way and I genuinely hope that you can find some resolution and relief to this issue. I have pasted the FibroAction web page relating to Fibro symptoms, and I really hope that you find this useful:

fibroaction.org/Pages/What-...

It is possible that it could be Fibro, but it could also be a pulled muscle or something else? It is advisable to discuss the issue with your GP just to rule anything else out and keep your GP up to date with how you are getting along. Mind you, it is now bank holiday and your surgery will most likely be closed until Tuesday?

With this in mind, if your symptoms persist or get worse, it might be advisable to call in at your nearest Walk-In Centre to have it checked out?

All my hopes and dreams for you

I do get these same pains on a daily basis...however just get it checked anytime there is something new that you experience.. It will just reassure you and you'll know if it attacks you again perhaps you'll find a way for some relief .for me I rub tiger balm on my forehead and back of neck and then place my heated magic bag on the back of my neck..and take two Advil..it relaxes the blood vessels.

Feel better soon

I have had really bad pain that way and had to go to a clinic as soon as possible. They gave me a shot and it helped. Later on it was back with a vengeance and wasn't leaving, so I went to a pain clinic. Happy to say I'm doing better. Please go to the doctor. With so many symptoms its hard to say what's related and what's not. Best of luck sweetheart and hope you find relief soon!!!! xxxx Mitzi

Hi anitaj4

Sorry to hear that you are dealing with so much pain at the moment and don't know what it is. You have been given some valuable advice from our volunteers regarding symptoms and getting them out and what fibro symptoms are. The link that Ken has given you is a portal to all things fibro on our mother site fibroaction.org where there is a wealth of information about Fibromyalgia.

I cannot say if you have fibro or not as I'm not a doctor just a fibromite sharing advice and information. This link gives you advice about how Fibromyalgia is diagnosed which may be of interest to you and contains some other useful links.
