Pain all over

[Duchess39]

Hello everyone hope you all had a good holiday. As some might know I had a brain tumor removed in 2019. I've had some problems but I'm wounded if it could have triggered fibromyalgia. With all the pain and problems but I'm afraid that I'll sound like a nut job if I ask my doctor.????

Do see your doctor Duchess. Fibromyalgia can strike quite suddenly and, although pain is very real, it can result from either physical trauma or emotional stress.

There's no cure, but various treatments are available to reduce the frequency and severity of pain.

Maybe ask for a referral to a practitioner for musculoskeletal type conditions, such as a rheumatologist, who'd be more knowledgeable than most GPs.

Good luck m'dear.. x

I'm in the same boat as you in that having my brain tumour removed in 2022 triggered a fibromyalgia like problem but mine is autoimmune and not fibromyalgia but similar. You won't sound like a nut job telling the doctors so don't worry and get checked out. I hope you feel better soon.

How are you getting on now?

Please see the doctor. Maybe take list with you howing when and what is affected over the period of a week. Also what you were doing when the pain heightens.

Some GPs have managing pain sessions which might be helpful.
