Different pain

Wondering if anyone feels like this? I am having pain in my tissues of my feet, elbows, hips etc. this isn't joint pain or bone pain. This feels like way down in my skin pain. Nothing is really helping either:/ it's like a pain/soreness combined. I have a doc appt tomorrow so will mention it to him but wondering if anyone else is like this and how would you describe it?

Sounds like fibro. I never have joint or bone pain. Are your tenderpoints painful? Feels like deep muscle pain? I get pain there but eventually moves to other parts of the body. If you are just talking skin pain, no but muscle pain yes.

A lot of times my pain is in my shins and the soft tissues around my joints but this is like deep skin tissue pain. Thinking I may douse myself in tiger balm and go to bed. Then I will probably sweat like crazy :/ no winning here!

Just do what you can, that's all we can do. I use biofreeze and daughter gave me an essential oil I mix either coconut oil. It has helped my back muscles.

Sounds like my normal Fibro pain. Hope you can get some relief.

Meow,

My type of Fibro is overactive nerves. Deep touches are painful, and so body hugs are avoided. Blood pressure cuffs feel like vices. Massages feel like beatings. I take Tramadol 50mg every 12 hours and it helps reduce the intensity of the aches.

Fibro (IMHO) is hard to get diagnosed. Or so I was told by a Rheumatologist.

Purr,
