Dies anyone have pain on there lower back, hip and down the leg to the toes? And is it because of having fm? I've been hurting do bad these k at couple weeks and nothing works. I take tramadol, ibuprofen and muscle relaxers. Literally it doesn't help.

I Injured my back at work so MRI was covered. I asked for MRI because I knew there was nerve involved when I felt burning sensation

@A MyFibroTeam Member did you ask for one? At my last appointment he diagnosed me but I've been dealing with it for months now.

I've had sciatic pain & problems with my SI joint for many months. I rely on my chiropractor. Sometimes the SI joint can press on the sciatic nerve to make matters worse. So I use heat & ice, take OTC tylenol& aspirin combo & get adjustments from my chiro who helps me. I recently started TENS therapy & that seems to help. I don't take shots or steroids, they have bad side effects for me. Take care!
