Fibromyalgia

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I am going through a rather nasty flare up at the moment, and it is very painful, my muscle in my left shoulder blade has locked,best way to describe it, i was in horrific pain and could barely move without excruitating pain,but today the pain is more localised in one area, i have yet to know if this is fibro related, i imagine so,or something else,it only happens like this maybe four or five times a year, this time i was out having dinner, which was embarrassing and none too pleasant,had to go home,that was a mission in itself, does anyone else have these terrible painful moments.

I've been dealing with something like this lately too. It feels like a big charlie horse from my right shoulder blade clean through to my front.
The only way I can get relief is to lay down with an ice pack on my shoulder blade and take ibroprofen. My doctor says he's sure it's my fibromyalgia causing it. I can hardly sit up when it's acting like that. Thankfully, the last few days have been lots better.

Well you won't believe what eased my pain, it was doing my weights, i decided i was going to do the treadmill, having missed a day already, and that was kinda painful, and i was scared to do my weights, they are only 1.5kg each hand, at first there was intense pain in my left shoulder and then low and behold it was gone, temporarily, but it did not come back with the same intensity,amazing, i think maybe it helped to unlock the muscles there and stretched them out, that is my theory and i am sticking to it lol, today it is just sore all over which is normal for me,but i hit my left shoulder blade on the dormer in the house ,was looking for a leak and i forgot it was there, ouch that really hurt, i think it is worse than the other one now lol, just what i did not need eh? why oh why do we do silly things like that eh?

If anyone has any good ideas or things that help them with their FM they should post it, what works for one does not necessarily work for another ,but anything is worth a try i think.

Here's hoping everyone is having a reasonable day,or by extreme luck a really good one, HUGS and gentle ones to you all.
