Help, I'm new

[Keldog]

Hi all, I'm new here and need some help, I just don't know where to start. My physio says my back pain is caused by fibromyalgia, but I can't understand how to help it. I have a tare to my knee and struggling with exercise so my weight is piling on. Please help...

Hi and a warm welcome to our community. Here you will find information support friendship and laughter too. You can find general information on fibromyalgia at our main website fmauk.org

You mention your physio saying your pain is Fibromyalgia - have you had a diagnosis from your doctor? Before a diagnosis can be made, tests should be carried out to eliminate other possible causes of your pain

My doctor said "I suspect she has fibromyalgia and I have advised her as such" this in August 2018, and from then I have looked at the symptoms and all mine fit, with pains, headache, problems sleeping, being tired, ibs, i seem to be bloated most days now. I've had several other tests for different things and nothing has shown.

Ok, so long as you've had other things tested for and ruled out x
