I know this isnt about muscle pain but yes it is in one way.
Fibro makes our pain worse so I started reading and figuring out what is going on with my IBS.
IBS pains feel worse with fibro,
Anyway, I got my colonscopy pictures out from a year and half ago and saw a flexure in one of the pictures, as noted.
Of course, the gastro and nurse tells you everything looks good, I guess until you have problems and have to return for more money.
They didnt warn me about milk products could cause problems also.
Anyway, I just made an appt with a new gastro for 2nd opinion.
After I found
my colonscopy report I looked up heptatic flexure and thats it.
Hepatic flexure syndrome is a relatively common medical issue. This condition can cause gas pains and abdominal discomfort. This pain is typically felt in the upper right portion of the abdomen and is thought to be caused by an abnormal accumulation of gas in the hepatic flexure. This syndrome is fairly easy to confuse with other abdominal disorders. Therefore, proper testing and medical intervention is important.
Liver function tests are among the medical testing generally ordered when hepatic flexure syndrome is suspected. If the results are normal, yet the painful episodes are persistent, this condition is the most common culprit. There have been instances in which the gallbladder has been removed in the hopes of obtaining pain relief for the patient. However, if the problem is due to this particular syndrome, the removal of the gallbladder will not relieve the pain and discomfort.
Dietary changes are often enough to reduce the painful symptoms of hepatic flexure syndrome. It is often advised that the patient avoid foods such as beans, milk, and carbonated beverages. In extreme cases, surgical intervention may be required.
I am still headed to the new gastro since they got me in tomorrow. Get his view point and maybe more then "everything looks good" from my old gastros nurse.

I just know fibro makes it feels 10000 times worse but at least thanks to good resources on the internet one can read and search things out for info
I, too, was diagnosed with IBS and had my gall bladder removed to deal with the pain, which is still occurring.
Problem is the only thing I drink is coffee, milk and water. Dang it! I hate to think of not drinking milk, but it would be worth it.
