Suggest Treatment For Fibromyalgia With Painful Cervical Spine

I am suffering, just suffering from the pain from 5 vertebra in my cervical spine that have been severely damaged where there is now the discs are on top of each other with disc bulges and stenosis. The pain spreads to my shoulders and back, spine. 3 surgeons won t help me so I see a pain specialist. I believe the fibromyalgia I ve been diagnosed with is a result of this horrific pain as when it is calmed down, I don t feel the pain down to my toes.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
Due to compression of nerve root there can be pain in your back and shoulders

I will advise you to do MRI spine
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Fibromyalgia can not be totally cured, you can only minimise symptoms by taking various medications. As you can take amitryptiline and duloxetin or you can start Lyrica (pregabalin) consulting you’re treating doctor.

Exercises and stretches plays important role in maintaining symptoms of fibromyalgia.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
