I'm having an awful feeling as if someone is pricking me with a needle. Its on the front side of my lower leg on my shin it, comes and goes every couple of minutes. What can I do make this pain go away?

I'm adding "Newbie" to your title so you'll get noticed more.    Debbie

Hi, rockinkay. Welcome.

I get this pricking pain sometimes too, and it's no fun.

Look at "Fibro 101," first thread here, if you haven't already. It's a great place to find out about Fibro....backed up by good research. A goldmine of help.

Hope to hear more from you soon. Don't despair, you've found a terrific support group here!

I get those in my ribs and the back of my arms.
I call it shocks.
I think it's a nerve going haywire more than normal for us.

Rockin,

What do you take for pain? Do you use any topicals ? They really help with localized pains...

We get strange and unexplainable pains with this disease....we need a basket of remedies to pull out when it gets bad...

Hi, RockinKay, and welcome! I had that problem for about a week. I would get sharp pain and then it would turn to a burning sensation and it was quite strong. I finally asked my daughter if she could see something on my arm since it was the back of my arm. She said I had a little rash. I told her about the pain and she said to try Neosporin and that she uses that for everything. I only use it for cuts and scrapes but decided it couldn't hurt. My Neosporin is the one with pain relief in it. I rubbed it on and in an hour or so the stinging/burning stopped! I still have the rash but not the pain. I'm scheduled to see my dermatologist in a week so she can take care of the rash. So, you might give that a try. Do let us know if it works for you, okay? That would be an easy, inexpensive solution to something quite painful.

Be sure to read Fibro 101 as Debbie suggested. It's jammed packed with info about fibro and you will learn a lot there.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you better. Don't hesitate to ask questions because we are here to help you. Hope to hear more from you soon.
