I have long term ongoing pain linked with fibromyalgia, costcondolitis, sciatica etc.

I woke up this morning with excruciating pain just above left elbow, travelling to fingers, but it intensifies when I cough or swallow, causing pain left side neck and left shoulder blade. Does anyone have an idea what this could be. ??? Pain is intense.

This could well be a shoulder or neck problem, as many of the nerves run through that area. There is also a muscle that runs between your neck, down your upper back to below your shoulder blades, and if you have a spasm or tightness in any of those muscles, or if you have pulled one of them, it could cause pain in other areas. I have problems in my thumbs when my neck is bad.

It might be worth seeing your physio if you have one or going to see your GP.

Fibromyalgia is a listed symptom of Low Thyroid (Hypothyroidism and also B12 Deficiency, They can go hand in hand.

Sciatica can be down to low or deficient vitamin D.

There is 'Thyroid UK' and also 'PAS' sites here on Health Unlocked.

Best to ask a few questions on those sites as they are very knowledgeable.
