Sharp Abdominal Pain
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Anyone experience sharp abdominal pain doesn't last long it seems to fade now I had pee . But seems to be a fibro thing as I get arm ache that burns and then chest ache randomly after lasting seconds . I think it was caused by laying on my side weird or what but that is your typical fibro symptoms isn't it xx

Aches are my typical symptoms - they may be in arms, or elbows or knees and change place day to day. I only get fog when the temperature goes down 3 or more degrees

Crutch Or Walking Stick

I see an Occupational therapist through a pain clinic, their physiotherapist (who has never actually met me) is saying she doesn't recommend i get one. Not sure whether to just go buy one myself.

my joints have a habit of giving away.
And I get muscle spasms when my body gets tired which can also contribute to me falling.
So I'm hoping maybe a cane could help me my body gets stuborn but I still have to get home etc.

So I was wondering if anyone had any experiences or tips.

My main… read more
