Close Fibromyalgia
in 2003 I received a blunt injury to my left leg (2 areas, left side near knee and shin/ankle) while on the job. I am now 23, I never expected to be injured so early in my naval career. Navy medical basically said its in my head and I that I am just lazy. I now have a eeg test saying Perineal nerve palsy. I can walk but with up & down to sever pain. phsy.therapist say I can walk, the there is nothing wrong with me. I cannot tolerate any meds for the pain& insurance don't cover acupuncture.
Treatments
- Acupuncture Working / Worked
- Highly recommend. I almost feel normal, my leg and foot still get exhausted sooner then they should but pain is at brought to a manageable level. Electrolysis type works the best for me, but I cannot afford as often as I really need it at min once every other week (acupuncture alone helps for 3 days max). Only side effect I had was no money in my bank account. I wished I could afford it.
- Aqua Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- Still will have a lot of pain, but it relaxes me a little to try an bare when its really bad.
- Cyclobenzaprine Somewhat Helpful
- was given it for a temp muscle tear. helped me sleep (don't normally sleep well) but 1pill and I'm out all day/night. don't know if it helps with pain because I was busy sleeping. Don't recommend sleeping as a life.

Discontinued 25May08.Right after my left eye lid swelled w/a lump an brusing, sore throut/swollen started vibramycin 4infection found n eyelid. & now 10 May lump near my noise bridge and in left arm pitt. Is it related?should I go2hospital?
- Neurontin Somewhat Helpful
- I called this my "happy pill." out of meds it did the best to "try" an mask the pain. But I started to have memory problems, then sever dizziness, hallucinations/ an just very "spacey."
