Does Anyone Get Stomach Pains?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I just want to know it's just fibromyalgia pains. Sometimes it's like a stabbing pain for a few seconds. Sometimes wearing a pair of jeans feels like they are made from broken glass jabbing me. Other times it's like an ache or cramp that lasts a while then moves. And it never stays in the same place could be one side one minuet then the other or high up then lower down
It seems to follow the pattern of other flares. I have one place that hurts most while everywhere else is just annoying pains… read more

Yeh but i have ibs but i know how you feel about clothes, it feels like they are made of sandpaper and are slowly crushing the life out of you. I wear oversized cotton sweat pants a lot and loose cotton tops. I know im due to have an issue as i get a really bad ache on my right below my ribs and my stomach gets bloated. When i flare its really bad and my spine is agony and then it goes for a while.

Everything you describe sounds like my experience , fibro is a very creative disease : ) I do not take medication because they do not help me or the side effects are not worth it. However, many fibro patient seems to find relief from Lyrica, Gabapentin, Amytriptiline, SSRIs, pain relieving creams, gels, massage, acupuncture, diet, lifestyle changes, psychotherapy, exercise. Very personal solutions for the treatment of the wide variety of symptoms. A good doctor could really make a different by helping you with all the scary, frustrating, painful symptoms by recommending treatment, by validating your "crazy" feelings. GPs, rheumatologists, neurologists usually the ones who suppose to treat fibro but many are unfamiliar/inexperienced with it or just refuse to acknowledge its existence.
"Diagnosis of Fibromyalgia frequently involves a process of elimination. There are no definitive tests for fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is an extremely individualistic syndrome and no two people experience the same symptoms and progression. Diagnosis typically relies heavily on a process of elimination to exclude other conditions that either co-occur with fibromyalgia or mimic it symptomatically." http://fibromyalgia.techie.org/diagnosis-proces...

wow!! I thought I was imagining it!! Thankyou!!
I get knife stabbing pain all the time. but it's never the same place. sometimes in my belly..sometimes in my neck and shoulders....sometimes my knees.....two days ago...all day...stop and go huge shooting pain in my right elbow to my knuckles. Every 5 minutes or so. gone now....today shooting pain is in my buttock....trying to walk was frightening as it shoots a pain and it sometimes drops me to my knees. I have flares and they always bring heightened pain everywhere...plus there is always something else with it plus always extreme fatigue..high.anxiety and one area where jabbing shooting pain happens! There is so much more to learn and understand.

I understand...I can't afford to visit a doctor as much as I need too. I pray rest and think positive thoughts. Isaiah 33:24 sustains me. Hugs to everyone enduring these unexplained aches and chronic pains. Praying I get approved for disability soon. I've been denied several times with a lawyer. I'm waiting on the pending results of my my last appeal. I wont give up!
