I'm thinking of giving it a try but my dad says they just want my money, if only he realized how much I needed to hold onto some hope into finding some answers. I'm not satisfied with this fibro diagnosis, leaves more questions than answers even after all these years.

Members explored the question of whether visiting a chiropractor for fibromyalgia is worth trying, with many feeling hopeful but cautious given past struggles with doctors and insurance barriers. Several members shared frustrations with fragmented medical care, including having many scans and tests done without anyone looking at the full picture, and dealing with insurance approvals that feel disconnected from their real needs. One member shared that weekly chiropractic visits have been genuinely helpful, especially for working out trigger points, offering a note of encouragement for others considering it.

I see a chiropractor every week. He is very good at working out my trigger points and is very helpful for me.

I was thinking a chiropractor too. I think they get a bad rap.

I have busted discs all and up down my spine, but I also think at least some of my hip pain is due to them being so out of whack, and also wondering if it'll help my shoulder problems.

For years I've laid/leaned more on my left side due to other health problems I have and it's all just discombobulated

Also thinking getting massage done ppl who know about fibro and mayofascia pain etc. But my insurance doesn't cover it.

I wish we all had answers besides basically just a word for our pain and then basically shrugs by doctors.

Big hugs!

We are a pretty great group so feel free to vent or whatever.

Sometimes, I'm like sure.
Let's tackle all the demons/aliens separately.
I mean I have a ton of shit I'm told.

Other times I'm like what is 1+2+3+ a bajillion divided by xyz= full picture

Which I'm sure we all can relate to:

Ya know-
You just gave me a thought.

I've gotten quite a few type of images from my butt bone to top of my neck. But in chunks
And varying types of tests

I have mild stenosis, some bulging discs here and there, I think some nerves who are cranky screaming "get off me"

Not a full shot.

Tbf, me and laying on my back at all is hell, especially cat scan, xray, mri tables-

I'm like you can shoot thru all the way to my bones, mris have mgnets strnger than anything- but it won't work if you add just a smidgen of cushioning?

Anywho- bad rant sorry lol

I don't think I've had a doc take in all 50000 images I've had taken in my back. I forget half the words used to describe several sections

Good advice!
