[Frogge in reply to Hidden]

I do! It's awful! I haven't ever known anyone else who had the costochondritis with it! I'm so sorry you guys do!

[Painny]

Head to toe 🤭😪

[Hidden]

Stabbing chest pain feels like heart attack x

[Catchacowboy]

My cat...

Sorry but she is being a right needy git and is moulting so bad clouds of fur just fly off her every time she moves.

My worst pain is round my rib cage and across my shoulders.

Yesterday and today I feel like I've got two severely sprained wrists - it's a new one.

Good day to you all xx

[KateMaguire]

Yes, when I first got it I thought I was having a heart attack or something! Luckily I had an appointment with the pain clinic the day after my first experience of it and they were great, they arranged for me to be checked out by the heart department to make sure that there was nothing happening there and then prescribed Lidocaine patches for the pain. I find a heat pad or hot water bottle helpful too. I would go to your GP or pain clinic for some info and pain relief. Hope you get some help soon, it's an awful feeling when every breath feels like your being stabbed! xx

Mine is my legs and every joint. Sheena

[Hidden]

My lower back and legs are what drive me insane with pain, but my neck, shoulders & arms right down to my finger tips must be a close second

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

My legs hips lower back shoulders hands and neck are my most painful particularly late at night xx

[FibroLee]

Thanks for your responses guys... sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy. I get the pains that remain and just increase or decrease in pain and then I get these pains that come and go in different places.

My neck, lower back, knees, shoulders, fingers, left elbow hurt all of the time. My right ankle started hurting a couple weeks back, i have carpal tunnel in my right wrist and headaches come and go.

Feel stressed most days xx

[Tootiepie in reply to FibroLee]

That sounds very familiar. I feel that being on this site really helps when you know that others are suffering the same. Your pain structure sounds exactly the same as my own. Take care and try to keep mentally strong. X

[Hidden]

The burning sensation I get on hands, arms, feet and sometimes upper back. It's not pain, I know, but it's worse than pain, because nothing seems to relieve it.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Yes, I know what you mean. I have pain everywhere , it never seems to let up. A new one has just started , my stomach hurts when I'm hungry or have eaten. I'm just sat with hot water bottle now, it does make me feel quite sickly. That's one way to lose weight but not a good one as I'm eating less and less, just don't feel like eating so I'm going to try and eat little and often. Sorry for going on. Love and hugs to you all Lynne xxxx

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Stomach pain should be investigated, not every pain is related to Fibromyalgia. I don't know if the skin burning is, tbh. It's so confusing because I have overlapping menopause symptoms.

[bobbybobb]

Overall pain, with episodes of severe chest and back pain, feel like a heart attack, like the other's had it checked out and it's Fibro pain. x

[Hidden in reply to bobbybobb]

Hi Bobbybob I did my research and that stabbing chest pain is muscle not heart it puts my mind at ease when I educate my self xxxx and fast heart is because we're constantly in pain and don't sleep properly xx

[bobbybobb in reply to Hidden]

I don't get a fast heart rate but the pain starts between my shoulder blades and upper part of my back then moves into the chest, I'm use to it now but it's very painful. xx

[Hidden in reply to bobbybobb]

If I had one symptom I could eliminate from this condition it would definitely be the stabbing chest one xxxx

[Hidden in reply to bobbybobb]

Hi

I went to my Dr re pain needed strong tablet for my stomach. How's you tonight? love and hugs Lynne xxxx

[bobbybobb in reply to Hidden]

I'm ok just chilling watching TV. XX

[Hidden in reply to bobbybobb]

It's nice to just to chillax.. love and hugs Lynne xxxx

[bobbybobb in reply to Hidden]

I love that word chillax, I'm going to use that word. Chillaxing. xx

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Hi Lyne I get really bad stomach aches burning and just painful could it be ibs related to fibro my stools are loose and light coloured and when I need to go boy I need to go mornings are worst xx

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Hi

I really feel for you.. my Dr said mine was to do with one one of meds so he he gave stronger omeprazole.

My IBS goes from one to the other. I'm constipated at the moment but I do also have compensated cirrhosis of the liver,(my liver disease was caused by meds from my drs over the years) which liver nurse said can also cause constipation!! I've got many conditions which can mess with digestive system. Please take care. Love and hugs Lynne xxxx

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I'm sorry to hear that I do worry about meds and livers do they no what meds caused you to get liver problems xx?sending u a massive cyber hug 😘😘😘😘

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Thank you. They didn't actually say at the time. My own Dr has given me codeine instead of co-codamol because of the paracetamol in it. She said I was better speaking with consultant about vtge rest of them . How are you feeling tonight? Love and hugs Lynne xxxx

[Kitten-whiskers]

My Legs and Thighs, but for the first time, its changed to my back

[Hidden]

Costochondritis, such a horrible feeling.

Shoulders and neck which seems to then cause headaches.

[dannyxox in reply to Hidden]

I just got diagnosed with it last week can it clear up xx

[Hidden in reply to dannyxox]

I don’t know, as no one seems to know what causes it, or what caused fibro. I can go weeks without it and then it’ll suddenly flare up from nowhere. I find direct heat helps. I put one hot water bottle on my chest, another against my back. Ok if you’re at home but no good anywhere else!

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Yes, it's horrible, I feel for anyone who has it. Love and hugs Lynne xxxx

[rosewine]

Stabbing, shooting, burning pains around the ribs absolutely awful. I know others suffer the same and we would all say we would not wish it on our worst enemy.x

[Hidden in reply to rosewine]

Stabbing pains the worst for me then my knees burn them go back to normal x

[Hidden]

Thank you. My Dr said I needed a stronger tablet for my stomach cos if one if the other meds I'm on. How's you tonight? Love and hugs Lynne xxxx

[FibroLee]

Thanks for sharing all... it's helpful to know we are all in similar situation and could talk about what works for us which might be worth a try for someone else.

I'm still trying to find what works for me about to start taking a muscle relaxant at night to see if that helps and I've started taking CBD again to see if that makes any difference.

Hope you're all having an enjoyable night... Lee xx

[margaretpaloma]

Shoulders, some of it is osteo arthritis but I know that pain and some of it is different, between the shoulder blades and making movement agony. None the less the steroid shots I'm getting for the osteo really help it all and I'm due another in three weeks - never thought I would look forward to such a thing!

Also if I 'overdo' it (and that's not a lot) I often get agonising cramps in my legs in bed at night. Just about to start gentle stretches to see if that helps.

[Thompson36]

Shoulder pain radiating around upper ribs and into breast. I’ve seen ortho who have said arthritis and bursitis and have offered arthroscopy but looking at June/July. Lower back and groin the list goes on but the shoulder pain is the worst for me 😥

[Chockie]

Shoulders, neck, then to head, arms and hands. My neck just locks cannot move. So stay at home when it is really bad. Having massage next week and Biomagnetic treatment in May. My legs are fine until I spend too long shopping or walking then I do suffer and knocked out the following day.

[2Sleeping]

Well I have it every where I had pain in my back once end off work for a month cos it comes and goes arms are annoying ace I had it pain in my knee once worst it every been almost past out the pain was worst then my labour pains when I had my boys in groin cause me to walk like I dont want explain that part lol well it ent wining cos I am a fighter with theses pain feels like you in a boxing ring fighting all the nasty pains and dull aces and pins and needles every day x

[Tiny09]

The constant burning pain in both arms frm top to bottom n my muscles being tight as rocks

[Usandthem]

Defo the burning sensation particularly in my knees it can be brutal sometimes! Stabbing pains come a close second. One which really bothers me is the pain in my fingers and wrists🖐 this makes daily tasks torture! 💄💅✍⌨

Sending everyone peace and love and hope your pain gets a good d kick in the butt! ✌💕🌈keep up the good fight fellow fibro warriors 🤗🦸‍♀️
