Then you get days like this when you go, geesh I think the doctor is right.... mad

I admit I have been under stress, anyone with TEENAGERS understands this statement......I have had pains all day from my shoulders to my feet, quick pains that I can deal with, then there is my upper back and neck feels like my muscles are BURNING and it ain't going away!!!!  I can feel the tension in my shoulders.......I don't have many days likes this so I can't complain I really believe it's stress induced.

Is this what some of you feel and I'm sorry if you do  ((hugs))

I don't get days that I question it. I always know it is there. It is like my shadow.

Do you take a muscle relaxer? That would probably help your neck and shoulders. Either that or some deep breathing or meditation. That really helps. I meditate at night before I go to sleep. It really does help.

Anyway, I hope that you feel better soon. I know all about that teen stress. lol... They can be trying, can't they?

Hugs, Karen

I forgot to mention stretching.  Stretch your neck muscles whenever you can.  Take care...

No I have nothing but OTC, I've done the deep breathing heck with my teen that I have to do, lol.  I have done stretching and try to relax, popping my back anything.  I can't find the stinking heating pad, the older kids like it at night.......I love kids life is so interesting with them.

I am praying tomorrow is a better day.

thats the way my aches and pains are -burning. Especially across the top of my back, neck and upper arms. I find that the muscle relaxers and heat (moist) do help. I also have to limit my time on the computer when they are at their worst.

I really want to be a postive person BUT I hate this I hate this I hate this.

Made beef stew........yup it has huge chunks of vegtables. Pain is bad that I didnt't want to cut up, all I wanted to do is go back to the heating pad which I found.

I swear when dh gets home I am off duty.

Kellie, you are doing the best you can and that is all anyone can do. You have a good mindset and a good attititude... today you are having a bad day...we're all entititled to those.

Believe me, there are days when I give my fibro and other junk a piece of my mind, I talk out loud to my pain somedays, and I don't always talk nice to it...lol.

Hope you are feeling better soon!

Hugs, Robin

Kelliejo you are doing the best you can. Take it one day at a time or you will worsen your pain. I am in constant pain so I take my Tremadol and make it through the day as best as I can. Good Luck.

I have the same pain, Kellie. A burning, tightness and sometimes a pinching pain in my back though the rest of me feels as though I've been scrubbed with sand paper and beaten with a bat (The beloved invisible bruises) To help I got a heated massaging chair pad from Walmart. It was $15 and worth much more than that in my opinion. When my back is at it's worst, I use the chair pad for 30 min with heat, then go lie down on my side, curled into a fetal position stretching my back muscles and keeping the disks seperated. I too am only on OTC Advil and Tylenol which are barely enough to cover the 'normal' pain, nevermind the breakthrough back pain. A hot shower or long hot bath help sometimes.
I wish I had more helpful info for you, to quote a famous person "I feel your pain."
Take care, good luck and gentle hugs.

KellieJo, we ALL hate it!  I don't know a person that would want the chronic pain from fibro.  But, hating it and getting upset about it, on top of the stress in your life, is only making things worse for you.  This condition is chronic so we need to accept that and move forward in our lives.  I know, for sure, I will have pain every day but I don't know how much.  I really try to not stress over things or get upset because my pain goes up several notches if I do and also my blood sugars and I'm diabetic!  So, try not to think about it. 

 

As you learn to live with fibro the pain is there but not as noticable...at least not for me.  I am still in pain but I think I'm so used to it now.  It has become a "given" in my life.  I can't stop it so I learned to live with it.  Some days it really will get my attention but I know it waxes and wanes and tomorrow, or even later that day, I could feel better so I keep on keeping on.  When I have a bad day, I take it an hour at a time and I have always made it through.  I sometimes have to adapt a little more, but that can be done. 

 

It is very important that you do keep moving though.  I've been doing a lot of yard work in the past couple of weeks.  Ohhhh, I had some painful days but you know what?  I'm actually feeling a little better now...better than before I started the yard work!  I was working the muscles and pacing myself...except for one day, Yikes!...and things are getting done and my yard is looking beautiful.  Boy, does that put a smile on my face and makes it all worth it.  So, keep on truckin'!

Thanks everyone, my back is still has issues but not like it was, thank God.  Now it seems my forearms and hands are not the happy campers however I can deal with that, lol.

I'm just amazed how quickly things change from day to day, it's cold here again and wet.

I did take a nap yesterday, I did feel better and just relaxed last night. 

Remember you all are in my thoughts.
