How To Get Rid Of The Pain Caused By Fibromyalgia?
I have been in pain for several weeks. They have taken all tests possible, they think I have fibromyalgia. They keep giving me pills that do not take any of the pain away. I would like to go and see a Fibromyalgia specialist, or a doctor who specializes in this. I will travel to any place for this. Can you help, as I am at the end of my time with this pain.

Hi, thanks for the question,
This question is very vague. First of all, where is the pain.Is it in the joints or back.Fibromyalgia can be in either of these places.
Fibromyalgia is a clinical diagnosis to be made after all other diagnosis have been ruled out.If we agree with the above diagnosis.If we assume that it a backache, then rest with hot water fomentation is the plan.If no relief , then intra lesional steroid injection at multiple points of pain may be useful.
