Fed up & in pain, please help!!!!

Hi alexis10 your not alone Im going through the same I use a hot water bottle and take Ibuprophen they help a very tiny bit. bit other than that its a case of grit my teeth and bare it. sorry hun not much help have you tried a cold compress and see if that helps some of the girls on here may have some other ideas. try to relax and stay calm as worrying stressing will make the pain worse easier said than done I know take care gentle hugs

Hi Alex, yes I get the same pains, but there isn't much I can do about it. Hot water bottles seem to make it worse, creams don't help, the only thing which works a little sometimes is Ibuprofen, I just end up fidgeting all day, not sitting too long, not standing too long etc until I am worn out. Sorry about that

Hi Alexis,

Like the others I too have hip pain. I've found sleeping with a bolster pillow between my knees helps and because they're so long it acts like a body pillow so I don't roll forward. It allows me to get a very stable sleeping position. Also I have a microwaveable heat pillow. It's meant to be used for neck and back but I've found it sits and moulds around my hip and just onto my groin area. It doesn't get rid of the pain but I know for me, it helps ease it.

hope this helps and gentl hugs 😊

Hope you can find something to ease your pain alexis, take care gentle hugs

I've had this for yrs only just been dignose with fibro mine would play up a lot at night I got no sleep and can not sleep on that side as it'd too painful I did get some relief from injections I had about 4 months ago in my back to freeze the nerve at the moment it's not as bad but I can fel it slowly coming back lately and Ben told to have the injections done again . I really feel for you I know your pain you should see about the spinal block injections with a dr and se if that would help you . All the best x

I can understand the pain in your hips and thighs......basically it burns in your "undercarriage" altogether!!  I describe mine as  severe saddle-soreness, and sweetie you are not being dramatic because it is a pain you cannot escape from and it is excruciating. Hot baths for me along with 3 hot water bottles - one across shoulders, one in lower back and one to sit on. It sounds rather comical to say but I cannot close my legs!!

Hi Alexis

I use Bio Freeze which gives some relief.  Have you tried epsom salts in your bath because that can help too. If you can use a pillow between your legs as it helps position the  hips and that helps ease the pain for  me.  Trouble is fibro is so individual and although we have similar symptoms it is different for every one of us.  Do hope it eases soon.

Hello. I understand where you are coming from with your pains, as I to are suffering just the same. Its so cruel, I wish that there was a cure for us all.
