Hello ....iv been experiencing some extreme discomfort in the groin area...as well as a burning feeling in the hips...especially when iv been resting/walking or standing for short times...has anyone else had thi

I have seen others post about this kind of pain before, and I have pain in my hips quite often myself. I think it's fairly common.

HOWEVER, if this is a new symptom for you, please go as soon as you can to have it checked out with your doctor. Those of us with fibro always tend to attribute any new pain or other symptom to the fibro, which is easy to do because fibro has so many symptoms and they are so varied. And most of us really don't want yet another doctor appointment.

But it is very important to have anything new that crops up checked out, just in case it is NOT fibro causing it. It might be something that needs attention, and even that can be easily treated to make it go away.

In the case of this hip pain, it might possibly be made better with physical therapy with other targeted exercises or stretches. Not saying I know that, of course....just a thought. Anything like that needs to be checked with the doctor first, and approached carefully to make sure it doesn't just make it worse.

@Somersaults just in case you haven't yet done so, I recommend reading my post of advice for managing fibromyalgia. There are a lot of suggestions there. If ay of them seem like something worth trying, then give them a shot. Mostly, the better you can take care of yourself mentally and physically, and the more you can boost your overall health, the better equipped you are to deal with the challenges that fibro brings to your life.

I am not a doctor or anything, just a person who has lived with fibromyalgia for several years now and has done a lot of research and trial and error experimentation. What follows is just basics. There are a lot of variations. You will find your own versions of everything I say, as this is not a prescription and there are no guarantees. But I believe that if you can do these things, it will improve the quality of your life.

First thing to remember is that Fibro is not a death sentence and if you learn how to manage it, it will very possibly not always be as bad as it is now.
