So this last month or so i keep getting sharp shooting pains in my fingers, hands,wrists. Shall i mention this to my doctor?
Also.i.often.get bad mirgranes shall i also mention this to my doctor!
Or is there no point as its all down to good old fibromyalgia ;(
Please if you have not talked to your doctor yet tell her or him. It's important to keep communication flowing. I'm not saying your pains are the same as mine but my fingers have bad arthritis. They have bumps that hurt from osteoarthritis and my whole hand hurts sometimes. Migraines can be treated. If that is what you have don't suffer with tjem. Talk to your foctor please. Hope you have a pain-free day soon. Debbie
The bad migraines should be treated separately from the fibro. That is how my doctor does it. He prescribed a migraine medicine and helped figure out my triggers. Once I removed or limited my triggers, I hardly take any Rx for migraine, maybe one pill every two or three months. My triggers are red dye, which is hard because there are different types, extreme stress, too much caffeine. If you google migraine triggers you will find the most common ones and try to eliminate or reduce them to see which one(s) trigger a migraine. I will drink a cup of feverfew tea before taking my Rx when a migraine hits. This is what has helped me reduce my migraines from two a week down to one every two or three months. Hope this helps.
Thanks all spoke to doctor. Hes said its normal with fibromyalgia
@A MyFibroTeam Member I suffer migraines badly and have done more severely the last 5/6 years. Plus my hands and wrists are painful most days but they are always swollen. I have psoriasis on my fingers to the extent that my skin splits and bleeds. I had these problems before they diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia, so yes I would mention these symptoms to your doctor. Good luck and hope you get some answers apart from the obvious. xx hope your pain eases off a bit for you xx kind regards Sandra
Definitely tell your doctor. The finger/hand/wrist doesn't sound like fibro. The migraines should also be discussed with your doctor. One of my migraine triggers is red dye and it is in a lot of processed foods. Making meals with fewer ingredients has helped both my fibro and migraines. Protein, fruits/vegetables are a staple in my diet. I reduced the carbs and found it helpful. Talk to your doctor about both problems.
