Guest guest Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Good Morning all, I am really new here. I've been reading the posts but not really responding so I thought now was a good time to start. Your posts have helped me understand I am not alone with this pain. I was diagnosed with Migraines and Fibromyalgia about 5 years ago. I get Migraines about every day to every other day and the only meds that seem to work on them are Norco. After 5 years I haven't found anything else to help! I had spine surgery in 2004 and now have osteo arthritis in my spine and my doc thinks in my knees. In the last 2 months I have had this new pain in my hips, knees, feet and shoulders. It is terrible in the morning! It can take up to an hour and a half after I take my Lodine for the pain to go away. My Rheumatologist took x-rays of my knees last time I was there and I should be getting my results at my next visit on October 12th. I am starting to wonder if I actually have Rheumatoid Arthritis. I have a lot of the symptoms but have been tested in the past and my blood work is always negative for the RA factor. Anyway, it's really nice to have a place to go and be able to ask questions. Everyone here seems to understand what I am going thru. My pain level seems to get worse with the cold weather so I am not looking forward to the next few months. Hope everyone has a painfree day, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
