Members overwhelmingly related to the feeling of deep bone pain with fibromyalgia, many describing it as a crushing sensation, with some learning from their doctors that what feels like bone pain is actually muscle pain since muscles attach directly to bones. Several members shared relief strategies including Epsom salt baths, heating pads, pain medications like Cymbalta and Tramacet, prescribed cannabis, lavender aromatherapy, and staying warm since cold weather intensifies the pain significantly. A recurring theme was the frustration of limited treatment options and the physical limitations it creates, balanced by members' willingness to share what small comforts have helped them cope with this constant, debilitating pain.

Bones hurt especially when it is cold and I also get spasms that are excruciating.

I describe it to my family as " a giant is holding me in his hand, and slowly crushing me" Sound familiar anyone?

Hi Tania-Hannah,

What you just described is exactly what I feel, but all day. I am taking the three main meds: Cymbalta, Tramacet and Cesamet. I also have been working for over a year and a half and recently received my license for prescribed cannabis. I have three versions and it helps when the meds aren't. One thing that helps for a little while is taking an Epsom salt bath.

My bones constantly hurt. It feels like someone has their hands under my skin, and they are crushing my bones, absolutely excruciating. Worse first thing in morning, and for a few hours at night. I've been having a major flare up the last month, I've never felt this bad. I've just been prescribed Cymbalta, hopefully it will help .... only day 4 though. Has anyone had any relief using this?

Like Tania, I feel like my whole body is in a vice and someone just keeps turning the pipe.
