My husband has been getting prp treatments. He doesn't have fibro. It seems to be helping him. I also have osteoarthritis in hands, back, hips. I also have costochondritis. Sometimes have all at one time or just a few never pain free. Gentle hugs

I have osteoarthritis as well as fibro...

My doctor told me that the fibro makes all the other problems feel worse and the 'other' problems make the fibro feel worse! He said that the more I'm able to get the other problems under control, the more it will 'soften' the fibro flares. I've found that to be true. I've found stem cells and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments helped me considerably.

My granddaughter goes to College in Brookings, SD. She plays softball there 🥎 ☃️❄️ She came from the So Calif desert. She said she if freezing 🥶. Hope you feel better

Hello Curt,
I wish I knew the difference as well. When I first started experiencing chronic pain I was also diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, then I started having trouble walking and had severe pain in my hips. My doctor ordered a hip X-ray and it came back where I had chronic severe osteoarthritis in both my hips. Then my lower back started causing me pain more than usual so I got an X-ray and found out I have mild osteoarthritis in my lower back. As for my fibromyalgia I still feel it all over, especially in my neck and elbows. I’m concerned that my osteoarthritis is spreading and making my fibromyalgia worse, it I’m not a doctor, but it sure feels like it.

Hugs to you
