General & Family Physician,  's  Response
I have gone through your case and I can understand your concern. There are a lot of treatment options for fibromylagia and ostheoarthritis, but I have a positive feedback by my patient when I have prescribed for fibromyalgia Lyrica 75 mg twice a day and Amitriptyline 10 to 50 mg at bedtime for sleep. For both osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia Naproxen 250mg twice a day will help you. Regular exercise is recommended. Exercise at least 30 minutes for three to five times a week if possible. Even 5 minutes is better than no exercise. Establish a regular sleep time. Adequate and sound sleeping may decrease symptoms. For symptoms of discomfort, you may try applying heat to the areas of pain, such as hot showers, heating pad, and whirlpools. Please don't forget to give your valuable feedback and five star rating, to help me assist you in a better way. Click at 'I Find This Answer Helpful too'.
