HI I know about living with pain. I also have fibro. and yes it will trigger attacks. I have been fighting them all day today. I am sorry you are going through this. You should try using a heating pad or a warm wash cloth. You also could try a warm bath with baking soda or Epsom salt.
Take some otc pain reliever and just try and breath through it. I know it is hard but you know the drill with pain attacks.
I hope it helps you some.

Try doing some stretching exercise. You would not believe how tension affects the muscles. If you have anxiety every day and you are tensing up your muscles eventually it will catch up and you will feel aches and pains.

It could be sciatica but they would have to do an MRI to see which disc in your back is pressing on the nerve giving you such pain. Yes, our weight does not make it any easier. I was diagnosed with a herniated disc in 2006. Hopes this help. Plus if you type in Sciatica nerve path you can see a picture of exactly where it is located. Hope you get some relief really soon! :>)

Definitely sounds like sciactica. GOOGLE it, and exercises for sciactica. Start slowly doing exercises, dont overdo it at first, keep doing it for at least two weeks, see if you feel much difference, if not go to a chiropracter (if you have money), but use motrin and stretching and heating pad. But please be gentle at first, depending on how much your body can stretch.

My son also deals with this and it definitely sounds like sciatica. He goes to the chiropractor when it happens and they can adjust you to give the sciatic nerve relief and he always feels better the second we walk out.

He has found more relief with ice, which takes down the inflammation, and also laying on your back with pillows propping your knees up takes the pressure off your sciatic nerve.

i recommend you asking for an MRI then a CT scan....i had the same issues...not to scare you but they found tumors in my spine. they removed 5 on nov 1st they left two in that are intertwined into my nerves...i have two MRIs scheduled for feb 7th then i see my micro neurosurgeon on the 8th of feb..try not to be scared but i really wouldnt wait.my anxiety is thru the roof thinking im going to be paralyzed but xanax helps...please seek medical attention...all my blood tests came out normal too and im a lil over weight...be strong

My now former PCP treated me like a hypochondriac, she nor her husband who is also in the practice, took anything seriously, they both seemed cold and uncaring. There was one thing she could not perform on me and I think she held that against me. My father went in with me one day when I had an appointment and he didn't like her attitude, he described her as cold.
Needless to say, I got tired of her attitude and switched doctors.
I had sciatica all summer and into fall last year, my then pcp didn't diagnose that, I looked found it on the internet by seeing annimated pics. of the condition and recognized it. She just called it knee pain and sent me to physical therapy, she prescibed Celebrex thinking I had arthritis because my right leg was swollen and I couldn't straighten in when I was lying on my back, I then read that sciatica was hard to diagnose,but it took me 2 seconds to discover it online. I kind of freak out now when I feel pain in my legs and in my back now because I start thinking the sciatica is coming back.

Thanks everyone. I dont have insurance anymore so i cant go to the dr. But its reassuring to kow that im not alone. Soooo sciatic can cause pain only when sitting. I guess everyone experiences diffrent types of symptoms
