Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Hi Yes I get lumps all over. My arms, legs, ribs, neck, lower back etc. I find a warm bath. whirlpool (if I can get to one) and moist heating pads help. Sometimes nothing helps and I just suffer and slow down on activities until it decides to leave. Sometimes I find massage just aggravates it. Hope that helps a Canadian Fibro Friend grams106 wrote: Hi group just wondering if anyone has knots in there arms or legs that are sore to touch, feel like a lump, and has fibro flare ups when the knots appear? I have had them come and go for years, my PT left bruises on me last time she rubbed them out, but can't afford a PT everytime, has anyone come up with a easier method?

Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain health conditions or just dangerous in general. 2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation better. 3. To unsubscribe the e-mail is: Fibromyalgia_Support_Group-unsubscribe 4. Also, it is not uncommon for more than one member to be feeling bad at the same time when it comes to flares and b/c of that potentially take something another member says the wrong way. And that includes the things that one member may find funny (even if it's laughing at fibro itself) even though we who deal with illness whether one such as fibro or multiple illnesses try to keep a sense of humor. 5. Pls let's be gentle with each other, and if you are having a bad day pls let us know so that we can do our best to offer our support. Have a nice day everyone.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 I have these knots everywhere! arms, back, shoulders, butt, legs, neck, feet! i slap a few Salonpas on the knots overnight and they help a lot. or I ask my hubby to just push on the knot - not rub or roll over it- just push on it as I visualize the knot as a melting ice cube. that works too but it takes some practice. I used to think warm was the answer until I tried the Salonpas for the muscle knots. cold works better as muscle knots are inflammation. warm may feel soothing but it doesn't help with the inflammation for me.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Hi Vickie I'm glad those work for you. I can't take cold at ALL!!!! In physio they were amazed that immediately after they put ice packs on me, patches of horrible and large muscle spasms appear. Even touching ice with my hands or snow ....cold is a killer for me. monkey00girl wrote: I have these knots everywhere! arms, back, shoulders, butt, legs, neck, feet! i slap a few Salonpas on the knots overnight and they help a lot. or I ask my hubby to just push on the knot - not rub or roll over it- just push on it as I visualize the knot as a melting ice cube. that works too but it takes some practice.
