Members reassured someone experiencing new sciatica pain that it could indeed be related to fibromyalgia, with many noting that fibro tends to amplify existing aches and pains like arthritis, sciatica, and headaches. Several members shared personal stories of relief, including one whose sciatica disappeared after physical therapy exercises (though it returned when the exercises were stopped), another whose grandmother had a simple surgery that resolved years of pain, and one who found hemp gel helpful for managing symptoms. A recurring theme was the unpredictable nature of fibro-related pain and the importance of exploring different treatment options without losing hope.

Don't go falling apart, It is most likely related to fibro. which seems to magnify every ache or pain you get. I find this too. Take care. God Bless xx

My S1 joints can really hurt when my meds aren't working. I blame an elliptical trainer that I was on that wasn't set up for my frame and size. and falling downt he stairs and fibro all doesn't help

I had this and it’s not helpful to say but the only thing that took it away was an unrelated surgery. I think it shocked my body and it was like oh wait we have real problems. Hope you find relief. I know there are surgeries for it that are very simple. My gma had one and boom it was gone. She had had it for years.
