I have been dealing with low back/SI jt pain for a few years now. I have protrusions in L5S1,T6&7. Starting in Jan I started to get terrible achy/burning/sharp pain in my hands and wrists. Went to Rheum..she didn't do much but found Vit D was low so started me on that. Pain increased to both arms, neck, hands and wrist (bilat). PM sent me for EMG, which was abnormal showed muscle irritability/inflamation. Went to another Rheum for follow up to EMG and she believes it is Fibro! :-( She ran a bunch of tests just to make sure it isn't something else..but 99% sure it is fibro. She told me she would like me off the Narcotics (I take Norco only 2/12-3 tabs daily) because this is going to be lfelong and she doesn't want me to build a tolerance now or become addicted!. Yikes...I do not feel 2-3 tabs is a lot, I understand her reasoning but I can not deal with this pain it is starting to over take my life. I thought perhaps I had a myopathy but she said no because I do not have weakness. (I feel I do) but she said if I am working 2 jobs (fulltime hrs) and take care of 2 little boys I do not have weakness. I push myself daily to complete these tasks, I used to be very active with my boys, but no longer can. Although when I am home relaxing I feel terrible and hurt, if I am working I do not feel as terrible. My symtoms are achy, burning pain both hands to neck, occasionally tingle and numbness. I have low back pain/SI jts/pelvic and achy legs occasionally, my whole body hurts (except my stomach thank goodness!) Difficulty sleeping, wake between 2-3am due to pain...so needless to say Exhausted. Anyhow I am on Cymbalta, Gabapentin, and Norco. She started me on Prilosec, Flexeril, and Celexa. Wants me to exercise!! lol! Any thoughts on this, or if these symptoms match all of yours? I am very scared of this lifelong dx and how I am going to deal with this, I am 34yrs. Thank you in advance for any help, I know this forum is great and you are all very reassuring.
