I have suffered with aches & pains for years. I have been sent for physio a few times.....a nurse there suggested I might have scheuermann's disease but was never confirmed. I have had a weak bladder for about 30 years (I'm 47) and have recently had a TVT. I have had pain in my feet so bad I felt like my bones were sticking out and I was walking on them! I have had tennis elbow (doctor said) more than a few times and always in same arm. I have had golfers elbow now since January (same arm). I have had acupuncture for this but it didn't help. For the last few months I have had pain in both shoulders...and have thought it was the way I sleep...I have changed my pillow several times and have even got a new bed!! I suffer with restless legs almost every night and have also visited the doctors for this. I was folding the washing today and couldn't hold my arms up any longer after folding only a few towels!! My knuckle of my little finger is so sore to touch it feels like I've slammed the car door shut on it....last week it was my thumb. I'm fed up and sick of hearing myself moan about all my aches and pains !! I was googling my shoulder pain and found this site...could I have Fibromyalgia? ??
