I have been having constant pain for years now. I hate to complain so I don't; until recently. I find myself complaining all the time. I don't like it.
I have gone to the doctorseveral times over the last few years and they always want to run expensive test that I can't or won't afford. I have had blood work done a few times and it has always come back ok. They give me anti-inflamitories that use to help. I only took them periodicly when I couldn't get a goodnights sleep. Now my pain is so bad that the medicine isn't doing the job. It helps a little.
I say that my pain is bad but I think it is just all over (low back, feet, sholders, wrist and hips) and seems to be there all the time. On a scale from 1 - 10 I would say it is between 3.75 to 4.75? I am tired all the time and don't have the energy to do the things I enjoy or for that matter the things I don't like to do (clean house, LOL). When I take on cleaning I can't hardly move the next day. Then my hubby says, "you need to workout and then you would be able to do more around the house without it wiping you out." He thinks it is only because I am out of shape.
I love to go to the gym. I know this is going to sound crazy but I ache even when I am on the treadmill. My sholders burn and feel like they are on fire.
I think I will go buy a swimsuit so I can at least go swim and maybe get in the hot tub. I hate the thought of me in a swim suit. I have gained 40 lbs. in the last year. YUCK!!!!
I went to the doctor Monday. He redid my blood work. He said he was going to have a complete arthritis panal done. I asked him about Fibrom--- he told thats what they call it when they can't find anything else.
Oh well, I will report back tomorrow if I can.
