MDJunction to me

jpcrps"When I found MD Junction, I was in the beginning stages of RSD/CRPS. I was scared, lacked knowledge about the condition, and felt very alone.

MD Junction changed all of that for me. I found friendship and terrific information from people who had first-hand knowledge of this syndrome. It was and still is a big part of my life.

MDJ was my first step on the journey of grief; from denial to acceptance. I am now inspired to help others by sharing this amazing site and sharing my own experiences. I am very impressed that one forum site can provide hope and inspiration to people suffering from so many different conditions. I am proud to be a part of this community.

Doesnt mean you shouldnt still have them checked by your dr to make sure they are ok. I just wanted you to see I have seen sites say it is common with Fibro. They call them Fibrolumps. I know there is a technical name but thats what people call them. Good Luck!

oh my hell, Stacey. I didn't even know this...HA. Is there anything else that could possibly go with Fibro??? Dang. I can't wait for them to find out what is causing this disease and all of them with their chins to the ground and how much forgiveness they will owe to the patients complaining of so much pain.

I also have these lumps, but mine just feel like knotted muscle, like charlie horses.

Yes that article is very informative. I have these around my knees in my thighs and in my lower abdomen. I also have them in chains along my sides running toward the front across my hip bones. I have them around my ribs and in my upper arms too...

With Him we "live" no matter the circumstances. At His feet peace of mind can be found. Peace that passes all understanding is my quest now and forever.

My lumps are new but they are from my stupid MS injections...I am not the happiest camper about this. I am starting to form them everywhere I inject so soon I am going to have nowhere to inject because you cannot inject in a lump. I need to call the people or talk to my dr. I dont want to switch meds so I am hoping they will start going down. Sad

Have you applied heat to your "lumps"? That helps them absorb.

I did but only once, my husband said to do that. I do need to do it more. They are in all 7 sites that I inject in I will just have to focus on a few spots at a time to see how it works. The place I go through for the meds and support provided me with microwave heat packs so tonight I will use those and my heating pad lol. Wish me luck.
