Has any one else had problems with tennis elbow or tendonitis in their arms ? Or problems with numb legs and hands after sitting to long in one place.

I have had numerous episodes of tennis, golfers elbows. Frozen shoulders, bursitis and tendinitis. All these have been associated with my osteoarthritis. As a general rule any symptoms should not blamed on fibromyalgia unless other causes have been ruled out.

I have terrible pain in my right elbow to the point of being unable to pick up or hold anything for too long or the pains just intensifies. Cortisone injections may help x

Hi,

I have had those too and after having a painful shoulder since August last year, I finally had an ultrasound scan on it and turns out I have some inflammation in that shoulder. I also had a pneumonia jab in December and then the pain started in the other shoulder and biceps and has now moved up to the top of the shoulder and neck. Am getting another scan, even though my diabetes nurse thinks having the injection and getting the pains there are not connected...hmm.

I also have diabetes and peripheral nerve pain which I take Gabapentin.
