Morning, just joined. For about 10 years, I have had a problem when I walk. After a while from my hip to my kness I get a burning pain with numbness and then pins and needles. Making walking a distance painful. Just recently the pain has got so bad I have to sit down for a while then it seems to go. I also have pains in my back and neck. Over the last month I have started to get a constant pain in my right arm on the inside when you touch it, it is painful. Along with very bad migraines.

I have been to see someone about this and they haven't as yet diagnosed it as fibromyalgia , they want to see how I am when I come through th change.

    Hi Linda31642 Drs like to rule out other conditions it could be, before refering you to see a rheumatologist who diagnoses fibro. It took me 10 years to get a diagnoses that was after seeing every specialist you can think and many blood tests and tests that I lost count of. I think it could be fibro you have but you need to see a rheumatologist to rule it in or out.
