Pain Levels of Fibromyalgia
Posted , 9 users are following.
Hi All
When I was diagonosed with Fibromyalgia it was rated at 4/16. My pain is severe to the point that when anyone places their hand on my back it is so painful. I have pains in my hands fingers when I hold anything.
My level has been rated as Mild Fibromyalgia !
Not sure how pain is measured on a scale ?
Anyone shed any light on this ?

Be interested to know where you do live, and also what they do for you.
Only because the rheumy I saw diagnosed and referred me back to doctor. Seems to be a common thing for a lot of people. Thanks.
Take care, Anne

Totally agree with others on here. How can this pain possibly be measured, unless on a daily basis! As we all know it changes from day -to-day, and moves around. P'raps you could ask whoever diagnosed to explain. But never from all the apptms, research and people I have talked to has Fibro been judged on a pain scale. Good luck
Take care, Anne

but the one thing i have to do is get up because the pain is to much
really bad days sit in my recliner most of the day getting up for the toilet is pain .and if its not in my back its in my feet . i think you were unfairly rated
we all try and do our best we try to move as much as possiable we try and stay positive as we can , because everyone tells us its the best thing to do , then the medical people say because we are doing our best that we cant be suffering that much.
will somebody please tell who is right .

then i apllied cold gel to my back with a spatula so the two extremes helped take the pain away a bit .
