Hello,

I have studied your case.

Fibromyalgia can not be totally cured, you can only minimise symptoms by taking various medications. As you can take amitryptiline and duloxetin or you can start Lyrica (pregabalin) consulting you’re treating doctor.

Feeling of numbness can be reduced by methylcobalamine supplement. You can take Inj methylcobalamine consulting your doctor.
For anaemia you need iron supplements and diet rich in iron.
Exercises and stretches plays important role in maintaining symptoms of fibromyalgia

Physiotherapy like ultrasound and tens will help, along with knee exercises.


Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Take care.
