It is hard to remember life before fibro, or to know what is actually from it and what is just alongside it. I have this really bad pain in my upper arm, shoulder area. If my arm is bent and I try to lift it, the pain is intense. It aches all the time. I can do stuff if I keep my elbow tight against my side, but certainly couldn't reach out and then lift something. I need to keep elbows bent, and tight to me, like a robot.
If I'm walking and my arms just hang/swing, it's too painful. I push a stroller or shopping cart to help support them.
It is so painful most nights I can't sleep for a long time, then when I do, when I wake it is SO painful I can not push blankets off me with that arm.
Iv'e had this before, and it did lessen, and now it's back full force. It was never not painful, just
not NEAR like this.
So any ideas if this is to do with fibromyalgia? I am hesitant to goback on lyrica, in case it isn't
related. But also need this pain to stop!
Anyone experienced this?
