describe the pain of fibro

[Guest guest]

Can anyone help me come up with appropriate descriptions for how the

pain feels? I'm struggling with explaining to my doctors how it

feels. I hurt on the back of my neck, my shoulderblades, my

shoulders, the fronts of my elbows, my lower back, my hips, my butt,

my chest, the backs of my kness, my groin. It feels like burning

with occasional sharp pain. Sometimes even itchy feeling. Does

anyone else have that itchy feeling? I haven't been officially

diagnosed with fibromyalgia, but I'm on the right path. Of course it

takes forever to get into a doctor! This pain is awful. And the

abdominal pain supposedly from IBS. I can't stand it.

Any help, support, etc. will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all,

MN
