Dr's hunch was confirmed

For reference: after a year of abdominal pain mixed with numerous other symptoms, I was told by a Rheumatologist that I have Fibromyalgia. She didn't look at me but only looked at my negative test results - mostly the negative test for Crohn's (my IBS and abdominal pain and lump was confusing).

It has been confirmed --- I have an angry angry PSOAS muscle and it is the source of my pain and inflammation .

One thing is checked off the list!

Now to figure out why I have old trauma in my cervical spine........

The chiropractor that my family doctor sent me to wants to see me a few times. He does some strange thing (that was supposed to be painful but didn't hurt at all). It burned a little bit after in and around my hip.

I'm going to book myself in with my physical therapist and get her opinion too.

Edit to add: And yes, he taught me some stretches.


BUT! I don't have constant pain there - I do have swelling though. I get a *feeling* in my hip, it isn't painful, just a feeling. Hard to describe. The only time it is painful, is when it's palpated. There was a time when I had pain there. I must've injured it with pregnancy and maybe its just sticking around bc I've developed bad habits with posture, etc? I don't know. I'm probably over analyzing......
