SIJ Dysfunction, can it "cause" Fibro?

First off, I am a 24 y/o female. I work with mentally handicapped young adults, as well as a few older adults. I was assisting with a transfer of a patient from a shower gurney to a bed and my bottom half of my body was to far away from the top of my body when we lifted her. I felt a pop/spring sensation, thought I could walk it off, I was wrong. I havent been to the  doc for 5 years, dont like them, excluding when a food poison incident where I thought i was dying. Anyway, went to ER said I sprug my back. Next week went another doc, had MRI and nerve conduction test (ouch, never again!!) and was told had a buldging disc, so 6 months later in PT my back felt great. I kept tellin my doc my hip hurt and i felt pressure near my tailbone...he ignored me. So my workers comp case manager called and had me referred to a neuro surgeon, who said i was not a canidate for sugery ( i already knew that) and referred me to Pain Managment,they did some trigger point release injections, wich i didnt feel any relief from. Also they were told by the neuro that i am deathly afriad of needles and they were only spose to talk to me the first visit. I starting bawling when i seen the needles! They did the one hip and wanteed to do the other and 3 in my spine, but i refused. They sent me for Myofacial Release Therapy with Pain Managment...my first visit the guy said based on his physical tests that he could work on me for 3 years and it wouldnt help. He also said the last 6 months of PT was a waste and he recommended steroid injections ( im scared of needles, one reason i havent had kids, just incase they would have to do an epidural) Now im confused, and in pain. I also am realizing that my skin hurts, feels as if i am all bruised up to the touch. My menstrual cycle wont stop and Im having severe migraines. I was looking over fibromyalgia and didnt know if i could have this along with SIJD. Do you all know of anything I can do before the shots? I havent been on any anti inflammitories, pain meds, or had a CT or blood work done to check for other possibilities. If they do the injection I need to be knocked out all the way, not just a lil. I start shaking and crying uncontrolable when they talk about it at the doctor, it is embarassing but i cant help it.

Please help!! You can mail me at  also.

Thanks Alot...Shari Kay

Dear Shari: I am so sorry you are going hrough all this at such an early age. My heart goes out to you. I have had Fibro for probably 15 -20 years but only reached the "can't function anymore"stage when I was struck by a large truck, as a pedestrian, in 2002. Simultaneously, I was having endrometriosis, which sounds like the bleeding disorder you have. It could be related or just concurrent.

Anyway, you do not have to accept injections, particularlt spinal injections, these can be routine, but also carry some risk. I think you might need a lawyer? I went through a terrible time when I was injured and unable to work. I wish you all the best.

The stress was worse than the pain, if you can imagin that.
