Do You Have Pain Everyday?

I'm wondering how many in the group have pain every day somewhere on their body? For me, my legs ALWAYS ache. There are days where they ache badly. There are days when the pain is dull and I kind of forget about it and go about doing my business. But most days I feel the ache deep in the muscles and nothing works to rid of it. I take hot baths and that sorta helps but for short term. I've tried over the counter pain pills with no relief.


I guess I just wanna know I'm not alone with all this pain. No one in my family understands, though my brother is showing signs of fibro but he refuses to believe fibro is even real...

Try to locate a physical therapist that specializes in MYO-FASCIAL trigger point therapy. They are rare even though many tell you that they are trained to do it. Ten years ago I found someone via a referral from another doctor. . She has really helped me but as you know Fibro makes you hurt all over. My PT can only treat one or two areas during a 45 minute appt. But it hurts me to drive almost an hour to her office. By the time I drive home, my neck is hurting & my back also hurts again just from driving. However, I stopped going to her due to IBS-D problems & now I realize how very much she has helped me for many,many years..
I hope that my gastro doc can determine a way to stop my sudden severe diarrhea, so I can start going to see my PT again. I have read that FIBRO can cause IBS-D.
