Anything instead of painkillers?

[Dysplasianna]

The doctor said my pain is fibromyalgia, but gave neither advices nor recipe. Hot bath makes my pain stronger. What else do you guys do for relief?

I am sorry you doctor has not been useful. Are you able to see a different doctor?

Anything that is warm like hot water bottles, heat packs can help me.

I am going to see some other doctor, right now it seems impossible.

There's lots of information on the NHS website about treatments. See

nhs.uk/conditions/fibromyal...

If your GP won't help, see another or ask for a referral to a Pain Management Consultant, who deals with Fibromyagia patients.

Hi you will find a lot of help, advice & support on here or people who will know who to get in touch with. I have recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia & this site has helped me so much. I recently tried accupunture & i cant wait to go again this week. I am also going to try Tai Chi thats supposed to help. It is all a lot of trial & error & a lot of information to take in but you will start to find your feet slowly.

Good Luck xx

I had to stop all hot baths years ago, as it always flared up the pain worse, and had to take showers instead, but as I am disabled, have to use a bath-seat. Any pressure of water makes the pain worse, but not as bad as sitting in a bath. I use aloe vera gel all over my body, with re-applications to cool down. Please try it.
