Long time since I been on site but really need some support/chat from people who understand, whats happening.
My legs below knee and terribly painful for the last few days, they pain everyday but this is the worst flare I ever had! I read somewhere the hot weather can make pain worst. This time last year, I could walk unaided but I have just increasingly worst and now have a stick or mobilty scooter for longer trips. I am 27, and I offer get abuse shouted at me, telling me to use my legs or elderly people staring at me.
Anyways, I have taken tramdol, practemol, and ibforfen. (Sory about spelling), tens machine doesn't seem to help anymore. I didn't sleep well due to being so uncomfortable. Can take anything else?
Many thanks for reading, your time and advice,
Helen.

Pay no attention whatsoever to any abuse, people can be so ignorant they cant see your pain, in this hot weather use your scooter all the time and wave serenely as you pass by xxx
Thank you for your reply. Is it over the counter gel? Never heard of it. Maybe I use it on small area before I use it properly. May send hubby out to get some, cause tramadol is making me feel sick and itchy now
Yeah some chemists do it, Holland and barrets or on Amazon. I swear by the stuff!! Oh bless ya . I don't get on with any other gel type's then a friend borrowed me a bit of hers and iv never looked back Hope you it eases up soon x
I do try ingrone them, it only happens if I go out by myself. So I can feel a little independent. It doesn't happen when hubby is with me.
I have my wonderful hubby, who is my carer. And a Auntie and cousins. But sadly my parents and siblings are not very supportive so don't have them in my life!
I was told I have fibro just over a year ago but I have suffer with pain since I was 16.
I thank God every day for my hubsand.My hubby does look tough but wouldn't hurt a spider in the bath tub, hehe.
Thank you for your words, needed it today. Been in tears. Do you find you have bad flares in hotter weather? I read it somewhere but don't know whether that is true!
I am so genuinely sorry to read that and I sincerely hope that you can find some resolution and relief to these issues. I want to genuinely wish you all the best of luck.
