I get the odd pains and mussel spasm. Every time I tell the doctor about them. He says it's the FM. I have meds for the pain and mussel relaxers, because the pains are bad. And yes it seems like when one thing goes away, some thing else acts up. But I also have DDD (degenerative disc desease) also. One thing my doctor did tell me arthritist is part of the FM. Maybe you can have your doctor look into that. I know when my hip acts up, my whole leg bugs me. And my doctor says it's part of the Fibro.
I know this ain't much help. But I know how you feel. I'm kinda confused about what Fibro causes. To me it's like one thing after another acts up on me.
Sorry about the spelling, never was good in that class.

Fibro. When I was told I had Fibro, the neurologist put my on Baclofen a narcotic. And he is one of the doctors researching and trying to find a cure or drug to fight Fibro. Right now I am on oxycodone and a fentanyl patch, for when the pain is super bad. In a few weeks, I'm going to start getting shots in my spine. So my case is a little different. And here in IL, marijuana is still illegal. But I did try different things in the past. The best marijuara, that worked for me, was a low THC or dirt weed known on the street. I didn't feel high but was able to clean house and other things with hardly no pain. But as I said it's illegal here.View Thread
