Hello all, I have been having head/neck/back throbbing for a few days. Sometimes it feels like pressure in my head. I went to the chiropractor and it seemed to help. Any ideas if this is fibro related or RA? I was on Lasix for an issue with my legs thought it was that, but didn't take it today and am still feeling it. Thanks!

Sounds like back issues to me. Does your arms and legs hurt to touch?
Fibro is diagnosed by pain in all four quadrants of the body.

RA is diagnosed by blood work and x-rays.

Hi there, I have been diagnosed with both. Just not sure if it can be a flare? Just havent felt like this before.

Oh.
It could be a flare up of either.

Do you have RA in your back?

I know I have it in my hands and wrist and most likely my neck dr are baffled by my pains

Mine too.
I have too many pain causing illnesses and I never know which one is causing the ruckus.

Yeah it is crazy.. I am thinking it is my neck causing it all. Not something I have felt before so possibly a nerve pinched.. I just don't like this feeling.. Thanks for your reply!

I'm looking into Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. I've had issues with my head, neck and shoulders and pain and swelling that cuts off the circulation to my arm. My Massage therapist told me it looked similar to that and the descriptions sound right. Just another suggestion of what to look into. I've been trying trigger point release and that was helping a little. I'm trying exercise for TOS to see if that assists - they aren't crazy, so they can't hurt. Just an idea of something to check. Apparently its something Fibro/Chronic Pain people often get in addition.

Ty for the information I will look into that. My dr has ordered blood work to test the swelling in my body.
