What Treatments Are Suggested For Fibromyalgia?

Dear Doctor, I am 28 yrs old ht 5.4 ft wt 55 kgs. I have been suffering from body pain from around 2 yrs. It all started from neck (muscle spasm) then back, then legs and hands. Pain will be more during morning when I wake up in all joints (knee, toe, finger). Even on sleeping, whichever side I sleep that side of body pains. On chewing more, my jaw pains. Also have weakness, fatigue where in I can not keep my hand lifted for few mins and stand for long duration. Also have anxiety. Have consulted 3-4 doctors where all kind of tests are done and none of them are positive. Was given calcium, folic acids, amino acids tablets. Pain was bearable for last 4 months and now it has again become worse. Please let me know if I am suffering from Fibromyalgia. If yes how do I get it confirmed and which doctor to consult in Bangalore. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You are having multiple joint and body pains since 2 years. If most of your joints hurts and feels worse on waking up it's possible you may have rheumatoid arthritis. And need to be checked a rheumatologist to do specific tests. Also need to check uric acid levels and lipid profile for if it's high then this could be the reason. Fibromyalgia does not continue like this. Please consult a rheumatologist in your place.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. George Verghese, Orthopaedic Surgeon
