@A MyFibroTeam Member Have you tried a knee support? I can’t think of the exact word. It’s a sleeve that goes around your knee. I have arthritis in my knee and went to an orthopedist. He told me to use it. Also Voltaren

I think if we went from the feet up or the head down there would be something a miss at every point. Heat pads cold packs vicks vapor rub. Not many know of the countless uses of vicks. I use it at night on all the pain points it's great. It's cheap too which is a bonus 🥰

Yes I do experience that more so in my shoulders and arms. I stretch them and move them so that my limbs don’t get stiffer than they already are. Keep moving, even a little is better than nothing. Little bits go along way. Hang in there.

Are you experiencing ripping and tearing sensations in your knees with fibromyalgia?
Knee pain is a common symptom that many people with fibromyalgia experience. The pain can manifest in different ways, including sharp, tearing sensations that can make movement difficult.
Some MyFibroTeam members describe how their knee pain affects their mobility - shuffling along slowly because their knees can't bend properly, or limping when their knees are having particularly bad days. The pain intensity can vary from day to day.
Here are some things that might help:
- Heat therapy (heat pads applied to the affected area)
- TENS machine for pain management
- Pacing activities to avoid overexertion
- Gentle movement when possible to prevent stiffness
It's important to discuss these specific symptoms with your doctor, especially if the sensations are new or worsening. They can help determine if there are additional factors contributing to your knee pain and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
Remember that on days when the pain is more manageable, it doesn't mean it's gone - you're just managing it better. Be patient with yourself and don't hesitate to use mobility aids or pain management tools when needed.
