i hurt all the time

is in normal to have pain all the time with fibro or do you guys have breaks from it ? xx

Hello Rosehip, thanks for your message. Unfortunately it isn't uncommon to have constant pain. With Fibromyalgia it can affect people differently, some have a lot of pain, others have a little pain and more fatigue, it is so variable. Also pain can be present with other conditions, so it would be hard to confine it to purely Fibro. If your pain is widespread and accompanied by fatigue and insomnia, the likelihood is that it is all connected with your Fibro.

It might be worth popping along to have a word with your GP and mentioning your pain, along with any other symptoms you may be experiencing, just to keep them up to date and so they can check your meds etc. to see if they need altering, increasing etc.

I hope you feel more comfortable soon, I know how miserable constant pain can be. I go through spells where I can't seem to shift my pain, I went to see my Consultant about it and was given some tablets which I take when I need to control it better.

I hurt ALL the time, some days are worse than others but I never go a day without pain, I am so sick and tired of being in pain and not being able to do things, I'm sure people think I'm just lazy I'm just oin the first couple of weeks of Gabapentin so fingers crossed I will get some relief when it kicks in....if it kicks in xx

I hurt all the time too hun. I hurt if I do something I hurt if I dont so I try to do at least a little thing once a day seeing as I am going to hurt anyway. I get cramps in my feet/calves/thighs all night long. I am taking Quinine, that works some days and not on others. This is an awful awful illness. I describe it as, you have been to the gym, done a major workout using muscles you didnt know you had, times that with how you feel next day with the flu, full blown flu, not a cold......that is my life every single day. I am on Morphine for pain, Arcoxia for my joints and Nortriptyline however you spell it as a muscle relaxant. Meds really are hit and miss.Hope you get some kind of relief soon xx

Hi rosehip, yes i have pain all the time just lately meds ease it but legs hurt more and my feet have started hurting and cant walk as far as i used to about 4mths ags. I'm always worse in the wet damp and windy weather so the weather we're having now is'nt helping. also hve'nt slept for 2 nights and have bad headache. This fibro has a lot to answer for. hope you have a good weekend take care soft hugs Marg xx

I'm in pain to some degree 24/7 but some days are better than others, I work now on just getting the best I can out of each day as it comes. It works for me, Under these circumstances I think I manage quite well. I wish you well too. xx

Hi Rosehip,

I personally have pain 24/7 it's there when i go to bed and there through the night i never get a full nights sleep.It's there when i get up also.I take solpadol and pregabalin also amytriptilene what i would be like without them i dread to think ! all i can say is it takes the edge of it.I am also a diabetic with an underactive thyroid,so feel pretty miserable every day.

Take Care

Hi, sorry to add to the gloom but I am in pain every day but sometimes I get and hour or so pain free and it's just heaven If I am in the house alone when I am pain free I treat myself to doing things just for me. I tried at first to get everything done housework etc and made myself worse so now it's me time and when the pain returns I do what I can

I am a daily sufferer even with a cocktail of drugs. Enormous problems with feet legs hips back middle back shoulders arms hahaha(I should of just put all over) Some drug relief but never complete. Still when it is okay ish I get on with what I can seems we are all in same boat never give up hope and treating yourself is a brill idea my mum always said Champagne was a tonic- pity I am not allowed to drink ! take care x gins
