Today I realized how incredibly bad fibro can be. For 7 days now I have had pain in my shoulder so bad that everytime I have to move it I would cry. I fought through the pain thinking no way can this be fibro. Today I broke down and finally got pain meds and an xray. Gee guess what... xray is fine. Which leaves only fibro as the culprit. I never had this much pain before. To the point that now I am scaRED. LOL, my gp wanted to send me to physical therapy. Has anyone else experianced this and is this normal???? Im scared now to think anyday I can wake with this. Thanx for letting me vent:(

I'm not too good with words sweetie, but yes it's normal! Before i went on meds, i was in so much pain, I too didn't believe that fibro could do this. But as the years went on and my RA went to sleep. THe only thing left was the Fibro pain.

So I will send you (((((hugs ))))) and prayers to have some resolve to your pain! Laura

Im so sorry, I know exactly where you are coming from. I got to the point that I would no longer go in for ex-rays because I figured it was just more fibro pain. Ended up having exrays on my foot and found out that there was a broken toe there from the past that I had just thought it was the fibro acting up. I also fractured the saccharin in my back and my pelvic bone from a fall off my porch steps. I worked for 3 months before the pain got so bad that I had to use a walker to walk. I will be praying for you that you dont get these episodes very often.
Gentle Hugs

I am glad you finally got something for pain. I have been dealing with a bad shoulder for a while too and my doctor said because I couldn't raise my elbow more that half way that it was bursitis. She gave me a shot and it is feeling a little better. You can also have trigger points all along the muscle on top of your shoulder and if these are adding to the pain you can try heat and massage. Hope you start feeling better soon!!

I am with Shirley on the xrays! I have had so many of my shoulders, hips and hands and nothing ever shows up!

That sounds lovely!

I've woken up with incredible pain in my shoulder, and it just works itself out in a day or 2. Slept on it wrong, I guess....fibro sucks.
