For past 20 years I have had chronic daily pain almost anywhere in my body - I do have a spine problems as in herniated discs in neck and lumbar areas and this seems to have caused a bit of confusion.
I have about 3 times been tested for fibro with the trigger point test and every time I don't have quite enough sore trigger points to be officially diagnosed with it like maybe 2 short!
I just read a post from someone with fibro answering davey that fibro gives you pain all over without any idenfiable source and this struck me as exactly what I have. I know that certain pains are coming from my spine damage but am not convinced that the pains I get almost anywhere daily are all from my spine but cannot prove otherwise.
I just wondered if anyone with fibro can relate to following symptoms
any exercise or change in general day to day activity seems to injure myself and will get pain 24-48 hrs later that last a day or two.
Example is if I read a book for too long then next day I have awful pain in hands - if I clean a kitchen cupboard and reach up next day I will have awful pain in shoulders and chest etc etc.
I get very tender patches of skin like sunburn with shooting nerve pains anywhere on body literally had them all over my body even eyelids! that last 24 hrs then go completely - kept being told it could be shingles but never appeared.
I feel dreadful in the morning - compeltely stiff body and woozy headed - afternoon and evening feel huge amount better but dread the mornings.
I'll stop there:D. I know there is nothing medical prof can do about fibro and without the required number of trigger points it cannot be officially diagnosed but I am wondering!
