I am sick of being in constant agonising pain, I am now on the sick have been for nearly 3 weeks, am on the sick for depression and anxiaty, I have got an appointment to see someone in the mental health, and have got an appointment with someone in mind. My hands are painful and swollen, my feet hurt and I find I can't walk as far as I used to, and I forget things all the time.

I have pains in my thighs which feels like axes cutting into my thighs, but when I feel them, they are probably tender points that are inflamed. Much hugs

I tried acupuncture but it didn't work for me. Maybe I didn't stick with it long enough. I think I have tried everything anyone ever suggested over the years. Nothing ever worked. I am a firm believer that it is a malfunction or miscommunication with the CNS. A haywire central nervous system. It goes haywire because of prolonged stress, injury or illness. I just haven't conquered reprogramming or retraining it yet. I have started qigong which is an ancient Chinese form of "walking meditation". It has been around for over 5000 years and is noted to help with healing. I have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

@A MyFibroTeam Member what is your definition of a muscle knot? Muscle knots do vary in size and you can have hundreds of them at the same time. Sometimes they will hurt more than other times.

These are not really muscle knots. They vary in size and they hurt. I cann tell when they are inflamed. Just another thing to cause pain.
