Re: Questions about arm pain..

[Guest guest]

Hi Kat,

Yes, I have the same thing happen all the time. If I try to

move them too much like vaccuming or washing windows. I pay for it

for days. It's mostly the upper arm and shoulders. I pop advil before

and after a " workout " . Along with the regular pain killers. It takes

the edge off.

The other pain I get is from my neck up. Mostly my face. It's

not a headache exactly. When it hurts I go nuts because just moving

my eyes even when they are closed hurts like crazy. The first day I

took the baclofin it felt like my face melted it had been so tight.

Take care, Jan

Questions about arm pain..

Is is 'normal' to have arm pain (from the shoulder to the wrists) with

numbness and 'pins and needles' feeling?  I have had this for over 7

weeks.  Also, if I sneeze or cough I feel like someone is pulling my

arms out of the sockets.  IT SUX!!

Has anyone else had this, what treatment did your Docs do for it?  Mine

just has me on Lyrica and Vicodin for when the pain gets unbearable.

Thanx for listening.

(Yes, I know.. all I do is ask questions)

1. While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as

to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. 

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.

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.

Yeah.. Driving is a nightmare. I try to avoid it at all costs. But,

it doesn't just happen while I am driving. I get it all the time.

Like I said, it has been almost constant for over 7 weeks now.

Kat - Will your doctor prescribe some physical therapy for you? Something that

has lasted this long obviously needs some special attention.

Kat,

You may need a muscle relaxer while your arm has some recovery time. I had a

sprain/strain of my hip that was similar several months ago. I was put on Soma

and took percosect for acouple of days because of the severity and then used

vicodin as it improved. Talk to your dr and ask if it might help. he may even

have you temporarily use a sling to rest the muscles.

Thanx all for your replies. I am seeing my Dr on Wed. The muscle pain

is getting a bit better sence I started on the lyrica, but the joint

pain (shoulder, elbow and wrists) is still horrible. I just dont know

how long I can deal with this.

Hi Kat,

In addition to my Lyrica, I also take Celebrex...I know, it's gonna kill

you...but I can't live without it.

Hugs,
