Members connected over the intense and often debilitating shin pain that comes with fibromyalgia, describing sensations ranging from burning heat to deep internal coldness, with pain so severe it can make walking nearly impossible. Several members shared relief strategies including magnesium oil, essential oil blends with grape seed oil, swimming, staying warm, and gradually building up muscle strength, while many urged the original poster to consult a doctor to rule out more serious concerns like blood clots or neuropathy. A recurring theme was the unpredictable and overwhelming nature of fibro flares, with members offering each other gentle encouragement to ride out the storm and seek medical guidance when pain becomes especially limiting.

Yes, got it and I do not think there is any way to truly explain the level of pain & how crippling it is. I trained for the LA marathon (a while back). I went to visit my friend in San Francisco and went for my runs each day (for those of you who have not been in that area, it's all hills in the city, big ones). After 3 days, I had the shin splints from hell. All I can say is: I would rather have the running shin splints...what happens to me now is 4 fold. Keep warm & take it easy (that's all I can do when it happens). So sorry to hear you are going thru that. Hope that ends for you soon. With kind regards, Debe

I just started getting them this week. So far it has only been the right. I don't have the heat but I do have difficulty walking.

Just seen your post hon 👼
Good idea try discuss medication review with the GP some meds can leave you feeling like that indeed . When coming off then you gotta do so gradually as this can usually cause anxiety etc with some meds X
Best wishes hope all goes well
Love and light X sending hugz X
