anyone have joint pain?

My joints in my legs and my spine hurt. My right ankle feels like it's broken , not that bad but it feels injured, seriously. My joints usually hurt but my right ankle feels jacked up. I haven't injured it so I wonder if fibro makes things come and go like this. Do many with fibro get pain in hands feet ankles & knees along with muscle tightness & twitches. I have been feeling this off & on for almost a year. I have seen 2 neuros and several family docs and I got nothing. So as I suffer, I'm trying to figure this out on my own.

Every joint in my body, seriously. Some days itis from fingertips to toes. Some days it is a particular joint. I had 2 days this week that were so bad in the morning, I was sure there was a front coming thru. But today, they are gone and no front. Go figure.

I have these problems mostly on my left foot,my neurologist is putting me on a cancelation list.I was freaked out about it at first but i've talked to a couple of people and I don't feel as freaked anymore.Just reading the posts sometimes helps.

Sounds like Arthur coming to visit. I've been good friends with him since I was 7. I have RA as well
as sciatica, scoliosis, and a host of other problems. You may want to try the gin and raisins trick to see
if it will help...take Golden raisins and soak them in generic gin for a week and then take 9 a day.
It takes about a pint for 1/3 pound of raisins. It's one of the cheapest hemopathic helps I've found yet.
Bromelain is a good anti-inflammatory. The Beta-Alanine I take is awesome for the muscle fatigue and
weakness, Super Cissus RX is good to rebuild muscles, tendons and ligaments, backing it up with
Bio-Sil to rebuild the cartalidge in my joints (pop and crack a lot). I also use Malic Acid and a combo pill
of magnesium, zinc, vit d and calcium for the sciatic. Don't like taking DR drugs unless I have to.

I have a lot of joint pain, without any significant joint damage and no inflammation, according to the assessment I had at the rheumatologist.

For many weeks, my right knee was painful enough to cause me to limp - my knees do have some minor workplace related damage, though not enough to cause the pain I have been experiencing. I regularly have pain in all my other joints, sometimes lasting a few days, sometimes just one evening. Everything from my toes to my hands. My right elbow, wrist and hand are bothering me right now, and on Friday night my hands were quite sore. I love how it jumps around. *sarcasm*

The Gin and Raisins was on the Paul Harvey radio show and is also featured in
Hugh Downs natural cures book. Stupid me, I used it and felt great and stopped,
now I've got to start over. I had actually progressed to walking up a flight of stairs without
stopping or climbing a small hill. Trust me, I was unable to do this before. It's hard to believe
I used to jog 5 miles a day, now I'm lucky if I get through my 8 hr workday, drag my butt
home and hope I can mow for a few hours. We finally got the back lawn down to a dull roar.
I push mow 2 acres and sometimes it's a killer.

Hi German,

my biggest complaint when it comes to Fibro is the joint pain, so you're definitely not alone. During the switch of seasons from Summer to Fall, my back and hips go out and I can barely walk, and the pain goes up and down both legs I've lost jobs because of this particular symptom I also get very bad aches in my wrists and fingers to the point that I can't wear my wedding band, never mind my beautiful engagement ring , I can't grab anything, can't cook or clean...it can get pretty nasty Right now where the leg and ankle meet, I'm having pains and it's hard to walk, and for crying out loud I don't know what caused it

Keep positive, keep reading up on Fibro, take your meds, and eventually we'll ALL get through this with a cure

Karen, how did you get dx'd with osteoarthritis in your 30s? I'm worried I have it in my knees, but no one has ever done x-rays or considered osteoarthritis because I'm too young.

german, yes, I have joint pain as a primary symptom of fibro, and it was what finally got my diagnosed. My PCP referred me to an orthopedist, and he was like "ummm...this is fibro!". My knees and hips and shoulders all ache in the joints, but the ortho said it was actually the soft tissue around the joints.
