My
dd dr. told her that crohns disease is also connected with fibro. i have had fibro. for many years, i use to think i kept getting the achy flu, but finally was told i had lupus, than fibro, even tho i test postive for lupus. my legs and hips are really painful, and i have started noticing that when i shake hands that sometimes it really hurts. good luck.
For me, it hurts all the time, but standing in one place is killer! I feel a little better walking than standing. But walking hurts in my spine from the degenerative disc disease. I have a headache all the time and ringing in my ears and head that is louder than any TV, voice, etc. On the other hand, losing weight and strengthening muscles is helpful, but it's hard to get motivated to exercise when you already hurt too bad to try, and knowing you are going to be miserable for the next 3 days.
i too get very achy all over at times i take panadeine forte at night to sleep. My legs and feet are the worst but it isnt as painful as some of you seem to have it. It is just achy. I have mentioned it to the doctor but he didnt seem concerned. Does it hurt more when you walk or is it just achy?
