I was diagnosed with fibromyalagia after a car accident. Any pain management suggestions?


I'm trying to determine alternative pain management ideas that are not to expensive. Pain goes from mild aching to acute stabbing and piercing jolts of pain effecting me from both my feet, ankles, knees, elbows, ribs, upper back and neck and wrists this typically prevents me from performing routine daily activties. I am on meds for pain managment but hope to integrate techniques or treatment to help reduce the pain I deal with?

i have fibromyalgia and it was hell trying to get help. There are still those docs that don't believe in it (because there really isn't a test for it) lol. I swear. Well Neurontin and long acting Morphine has helped tremendously. Any regular exercise you can tolerate helps also. That can be difficult. Water aerobics, swimming, a stationary bicycle. Try something you can tolerate.Cymbalta (an anti-depressant) has shown very good results for chronic pain sufferers. Don't give up . Sex also helps me with prolonging pain relief. Good luck and I hope this helped.
medicinal marijuana.
My aunt who has fibro uses it. It takes the edge off.
My mother-in-law uses morphine but even that only takes the edge off. All you can do is take the edge off of the pain.
I'm sorry that you have this disease/disorder and I hope that a cure is in the making.
Make sure to check out sites on the internet and join groups in your local area.
My mom-in-law and my aunt have it. Plus some of my friends.
go to fibrohugz.com there is alot of info there on fibro. plus chat rooms where u can go talk to others that have the same thing. I have it too. I woke up one morning in 2000 with severe back pain and no reason for it. For me they think it was something that happened when I was a child go figure.
will be praying for u I know what u r going thru. if u want to talk email me sshhorty2@yahoo.com
