I truly believed my fibro was triggered by my rny surgery 8 years ago. It started with hip pain, then steadily progressed to shoulders, neck, wrists and ankle pain along with migraines. Sought medical help and was diagnosed back and forth with arthritis and fibro. I too feel bruised, especially in hips, shoulders and neck. I cringe when people get near those areas. Talked to Bariatric doctor and he just dismisses me. Finally met with rheumatologist and diagnosed with fibro as of may 2016. Been only so many meds. Currently talking gabapentin and having mild to moderate relief along with pain management. I'm a single mom and HAVE to support us.

If you are still experiencing migraines I recommend you get your daith pierced. I wrote a whole long post about it under recommendations in my profile. It works.

I definitely feel bruised all over!! Arms, mid-back on the sides, bottom of back, cheeks of my ass, thighs, calves and feet!!! No real bruises though!! Welcome to the wonderful world of Fibro!!!

I feel like this a lot. I think it's muscles n maybe ligaments that r just sore from everyday thing's n then the fibro on top. N that makes just everything hurt.
N with no meds of any kind I would imagine that u really really hurt.
Hope u feel better soon 💜
