Yes, I get that when I overdue things. The only thing that helps is having my husband give me a massage and then putting heat on my back. When i was working (sitting at the computer all day) I used to get it in my upper back; it was so bad that it burned when I moved. I would come home and sleep for 3 or 4 hours and then make dinner.
I'm just like Maureen, when I was working at the computer, my whole upper back, neck and shoulders and chest would burn so bad, I wanted to scream. I am not on any meds and would use, biofreeze, heat an my husband would massage my back and that helped (sometimes could not have him touch me though). I have lots more energy when I walk or exercise everyday. I try to walk 3 miles a day, and that helps. I have to say, somewhere on my body hurts everyday, but just have a positive attitude and can usually overcome it.
Yes! One of my worst fibro symptoms! I often feel like I've been put on an old fashioned torture device and have hooks on either side of my spin and they are being pulled apart! It's awful, depressing and makes me super cranky especially when my 3 and 4 yr old need mommy lots! Kids bath time is the hardest! I have to try smile and have fun bathing them but I just want to sob! I use celebrex daily which is definitely helping with back pain. Onwards and upwards strong fibro warriors xxx e
