Experienced Shooting Pain In Thighs, Have Fibromyalgia, Protruding Discs In Neck And Scar Tissues In Stomach. What Can Help?

Yes, I have just recently experienced shooting pain in my thighs and arms along with severe pain in my hands. They hurt so bad, I just want to cry. I have fibromyalgia, but these pains started two weeks ago. Can you help me figure it out?. I also have protruding disks in my neck and a lot of scared tissue in my stomach due to 5 surgeries.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
The problem appears to be due to the exageration of the fibromyalgia, due to some reason.
I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, then followed periodically and anti inflamatories.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.

Hello there thank you for asking!
You have fibromyalgia and 5 surgeries history, I believe they are enough to explain it. ANd these are acute flares which you are suffering from.

Here are some tips that might be helpful to you,

Treat infections quickly
Avoid changes in diet
Exercise as prescribed (Do not to increase your routine without consulting a physician)
Have Moderate changes in activity
Avoid unnecessary life changes
Treat changes in mood or sleep early and aggressively
Always start new medications at the lowest possible dose
Prepare for unavoidable situations that have caused flare-ups in the past (eg, arrange for an increase in sleep medication or for help with housework and child care)
Do pace your activities and know their limits.

Choose fruits like citrus fruits, apples, berries, cantaloupe, and peaches
Vitamins (eg, C, E), minerals (eg, selenium, zinc), and phytochemicals will be of help.
take Vitamin D supplements regular.
diet high in fresh vegetables, fish, and fiber. Green, leafy, and yellow vegetables will be an asset.

avoid junk foods or processed snack foods.consumption of chemical-laden foods, refined sugars, white flour, aspartame, and monosodium glutamate (MSG)

Avoid sweet or starchy foods. if cant then take with fiber alot of fiber. it will decrease its absorbtion rate.

take food journal for two weeks.

Avoid tobacco use

Slowly wean off caffeine, because abruptly stopping caffeine will increase fatigue and pain, headaches, anxiety, and sleep disturbance

Avoid and taper alcohol and stop completely in 6 months.

Consult physiotherapist and chronic pain management specialist for pain, and psychiatrist for psychologic and behavioral therapies.

Good Luck
