Guest guest Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 doc said he didn't believe in fibro, but grabbed my arm in a couple spots, saying they were marker spots but since I had no pain in that area then I did not have it.....quite often, with the rheumotoid and fibro, they go to joint pain...mine is in the bones, not the joints Tonni Brende Wife, Mother, Grandma too...

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Fibro pain can be anywhere and described multiple ways. My very best way to describe this feeling is its as if I was in a fight and the other person had a crow bar. My legs from the knees down always feel like they are bruised if they are touched anywhere.. there is pain in my hips and in my back... My elbows hurt, my knees hurt.. my muscles cramp up for no apparent reason. The pain can be intense or it can be annoying. It changes. There is no rhyme or reason just pain. My skin hurts most of the time too.

So, your Dr. didn't find it because it wasn't there at that time. Even when I drove 3 hrs down to a larger city, I figured for sure the Fibro would be screaming from the drive. Nope - no pain except when he had a hold on my ankle and pushing my leg up, where his fingers were then screamed.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Tonni,i would find a doctor who is going to take you seriously. this may be something way other than fibro pain. bone pain is something not to be taken lightly. it can be the symptom of all sorts of maladies. i would search out a rheumatoid arthritis doctor and go from there. i don't want to scare you with possibilities but i think you should be checked by someone other than a GP. someone has to take your symptoms seriously. hugs,teriOn Mon, Jan 31, 2011 at 6:39 AM, Tonni Brende <tbrende7@...> wrote: now my pain seems a bit different...mine is not topical but inner bone from the butt down and from the elbows down...my hands and feet are always in pain and the more you use tem the more they curl up and don't want to work and then it feels like the muscles and boes are also trying to curl up and almost fear they will break if used...

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 TonniIs your liver badly damaged?? Such as, what genotype Hep C do you have and what stageis it at?? I don't understand why they would be looking at your liver for any tumours. I do have to be checked every 6 months but that's because I've already had liver cancer. Most of the time, we are only in danger of having tumours if you've had any cirrhosis. Even then, the percentage of people that have had bad damage to their livers and into cirrhosis, is very low.

Are your feet really cold when this happens and what about your hands??
