I have Fibro and to say that I "hurt more than what would seem reasonable" is an understatement. I will say that, after reading a lot of posts from other members here, the pain I have on a daily basis could be worse. The pain is actually my second biggest complaint. My first would be the constant lack of energy. I tried explaining it to my family one day and the best comparison I could come up with is a rag doll. That's what I feel like almost every day. A limp, lifeless rag doll that isn't strong enough to hold up her own head. As for injuries being more painful than what you would think they should be, yes, I definitely have that problem. I've had people poke me in my upper arms just to get my attention and I damn near broke down in tears. I've broken a lot of bones and I always found ice to be helpful. I always continued using the ice for several weeks, even after being in a cast. You might even want to try heat instead of the ice. One of my doctors recommended that, but the ice always worked better for me. I've broken both my knees (not at the same time thank God), an ankle, and a foot and the only thing I can recommend for anything like that is staying off your feet as much as possible. Anything in that area is so much worse than an arm or hand because you're constantly putting weight on it. And if you're not, you're putting weight on your other leg and then even your good leg winds up killing you! It's really a lose-lose situation. I wish I could give you more help but hopefully someone here will have some better advice for you. Hope you're feeling better soon! Post edited by: Bubble23, at: 11/09/2007 03:48 |
