I have had fibro since I was 46. I'm 75 now. Most of my pain is in my shoulders I try to ignore but become to live with it too. I find a heat pad does wonders.3 years ago I had it in my buttock that was really bad, but went as soon as it came. Funny you dont realise the pain has gone.

Well you are looking very good for 75 years, I agree differently heat does help with shoulder pain, the wheat bag comes in very handy, my lovely soak in the bath at night is a must for me, I also tend to use a volterol rub in gel and also I’ve tried bio freeze for shoulders/back. , I still use my hot water bottles too, do you find damp cold weather a trigger? Not a Winter person roll on the Spring I say xx

Lovely photo. Thank you for sharing. I use heat for relief too, when I can. I have had this condition for a long time and was diagnosed six years ago. Some of the pain does become like background noise but then you get the excruciating pain that stops you in your tracks. You are an encouragement, keep going😊
