I have chronic back problems, have had 4 different operations including fusions of 4 disc, I am waiting to have Nerve Induction Studies to try to find the exact cause of problem,, for the past 3 years I have been getting aching pains in my entire body,, recently I have been getting the most dreadful pains in my arms, it feels like i am carring heavy weights, also today I cannot get out of bed with complete exhaustion.. Unfortunately because of severe back pain I take 30mg Zomorph, Oral Morph when needed, my husband is a gem, i could not cope without him,, my go wanted to refer me to pain clinic but it is just group therapy which is what I am doing on here!! Please can anyone help with this agonizing arm pain, Thankyou!!

I have pain in my right arm ... not sure if similar or not. It hurts to pick up a cup of water for example or brush my hair with that arm. I use an elbow support - bit like tubigrip. I find that helps enormously although I can't wear it all the time as the allodynia kicks in after a while.

Hello to you, Thankyou for replying,, my pain is in both arms and they ache like nothing on earth,, I find the pain is worse at the end of the day, I don't know if it is holding the paper, or tablet, nothing seems to stop It!! I haven't been properly diagnosed but my GP says it is certainly fbm,it doesn't show up on blood tests,, I am undergoing nerve tests shortly to find if it is connected to my back problem, exhaustion is another problem, today has been especially bad, I think I over done things over the weekend, very stupid!!! I hope you feel better tomorrow!!!!

Hopefully your next set of tests show up something that can be treated and you get your arms back! I know it's hard when one of them is hurting so both must be awful. Hope you feel better soon :)
