What Causes Persistent Back Pain And Fatigue?

Hi. I m a 35 year old female with persistent back pain and lately I ve noticed ongoing fatigue (I haven t really gotten out of bed for 3 days) and over those past 3 days I ve noticed small bruises, mostly on my legs but one on my hand. There is no explanation for these. I have diarrhea, but I have IBS. I do suffer from depression and anxiety, as well as adult ADD. Please help.

Hello,

You have a history of IBS & ADD. Presently you have back pain and fatigue along with bruises in the skin of the legs & hands. These are symptoms of Fibromyalgia.

SSRI's, antidepressants & anxiolytics effectively control depression and anxiety. But do not get dependent on the medications. Maintain a healthy lifestyle(enjoy outdoors, make new friends, listen to music, dance, do regular exercise, etc) & eat healthily.

Take food rich in calcium, iron, fiber, seeds /nuts, avoid food that has gluten, take protein. Avoid oily junk food. Avoid negativity & stress.

Get physically examined & treated for FM. Neglect may complicate to diseases like Arthritis or lupus.

Take adequate rest but avoid a sedentary lifestyle. Take NSAIDs for pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
