Guest guest Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Hi Penny, How are you ? I was diagnosedwith fibro in May of this year.In June I went to arhuematalogist/pain management doctor and he saidI have fibro. I see him on a regular basis. Everything you discribe Ihave same. When I found out Ihad this I was on the computer looking up about fibro.I found out it is caused by some kind of truma tothe body. In 03 I had open heart surgery to repair a valve.Half of these pains started in 04 but doctors could not find anything wrong.The worst pain was my left hip. Had tests done and nothing was found. In o4 I also found out I had arthritis, whole collar bone and neck all the way down to tail bone,and a few disc problems.So when I started seeing my rheumatalogist it was cause of new pains that happened earlier in the year. I am telling where I feel the pain and telling how the pains feel. He did the tender point check and when he touched or more like slid his hand over these areas on the sides of my upper thighs and they did feel tender. I also have other tender spots.I still am in denial , but unfortunately I am slowly comingaround. I think I am coming out of the mourning stage. I was (am)mourning about the life I had. I am trying to start a new way of life. It is not easy and alot to mention right now but if you need to talk tosomeone who will listen you can email me. I hope you will feel better soon but that might take awhile cause the doctors have to find the right medicines for you. Take care and Gentle hugs Kim ( heavenscent ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
