What does the pain feel like?

[Guest guest]

My first post here but I've been lurking and studying a few weeks...

I'm having doctors tell me I probably have fibromyalgia but I'm not sure

because my pain doesn't fit in with what I am hearing. There is a TV

commercial that mentions some women that want to be hugged but it would

hurt.

My pain isn't like that. I'm getting sharp pains just about anywhere in

my body that last a second or three then ease up. Sometimes it's

repeated a few times, sometimes not. It feels more like it's coming from

my bones and not muscles. I even get them in my head. The most common

place I get the pains is in the thighs.

Can anyone relate to this? Am I having fibro pains or is it something else?

Had to say. I was diagnosed with FMS over 15 years ago, but probably have

had it for at least another 20 years. Sometimes, I get burning pain as if

I had been badly sunburned or leaned against a hot stove. Sometimes it is

a stabbing pain, as if I was being poked with a large needle. That can

come up at any time, anywhere in my body. I sometimes wake up with a jerk in

the middle of the night with a stinging pain in my foot, or hand or leg or

just about anywhere. I have stood up to make sure that there was not a

spider in my bed. And other times it is a crushing pain, as if my upper arm

or my upper back muscles were in a huge vise. Then the bones even hurt.

Once in a while I will get a twisting pain as if the muscles in my arm or leg

were being tightened and tightened to the point of tearing. In that one,

the bones don't hurt. Wet heat helps most of the time. To add to the fun

and games, I also have Osteoarthritis with the accompanying joint pains.

They are all different. And then there is the fatigue from not enough

exercise and no good sound sleep. For me, staying completely away from wheat,

corn and sugar really helps. Do I always eat 100% correctly? Nope. But I

have learned to splurge on only one thing at a time and only eat a little.

Pam I completely understand about the burning pain. The palms of my hands and

bottoms of feet burn off and on all day and night and get worse as the day goes

on. I have other parts that suddenly start burning and it does feel like I just

leaned up against the stove or something. Funny about the spider I thought that

before and have tried to get out of bed fast, get tangled in blankets and rolled

down to floor, had to laugh at myself on that one. If you find anything that

helps let me know. I have several ice packs in the freezer and when the burning

pain in hands are too much I hold them between my hands, sometimes put on feet

and other parts of body burning, gives relieve for at least a little while. Good

Luck to you and the whole group.

Hi I can relate to what you are saying. I have had many of those types of

pains too. I am also type o and a gatherer. I used to have diabetes type 11

and I no longer no. the way it wa explained to me is that those weird pains

are nerve pains. Nerve pains can hit anywhere any time and are not

necessarily indicative of another problem also, there is something called

pain referral. So if you have a gas bubble in your colon you may get a pain

in your rib cage or shoulder. If your gall bladder has a spasm it may hurt

all over your right side etc.

With digestive problems you can get some real weird pains all over your

body. Its the pain referral. Plus, some gas bubbles feel like they are the

size of a football and that presses on your organs sometimes too.

Most fibro¹s have serious digestive disturances. This is sometimes thought

to be the basic cause of fibro due to deficiencies in in our nutrition due

to incomplete digestion.

Good luck

One solution I have found for the burning pain is alkalizing my diet

tremendously for a short time. For example only eat vegetables and juice

them or make soup or mash them. No meat, sugar, dairy for a while. See if

the burning stops. Then introduce only dairy and see if the burning starts

up again. If not, dairy is ok. Then do the meat, then do the sugar etc.

see if that helps you. It sure did help me. I could barely walk somedays

my feet burned so bad and after one month of that food process I was cured.

It never came back. Its kind of like gout. But its not gout. It hurts

like gout sort of though. and gout is caused by a diet that too rich in

sugar and meat and wine.

Yes I call that fibro pain. I used to have those in my thighs as well. It

is nerve pain and pain referral as I explained in an earlier email.
