Answer:
I sometimes have hip pain. My fibro pain seems to travel. I have trigger point pains but the worse pain shows up in my knee, hip, shoulders, and migraines, but usually not all at once.

Answer:
I have bursitis in my hips and shoulders. I've not asked my rheumatologist if it is related to FMS. I wouldn't be surprised though.

Answer:
Q. Does fibromyalgia cause any joint or tissue damage, or abnormal laboratory studies? A. No. To date, there has been no evidence indicating any consistent demonstrable abnormality in any body tissues. In pure fibromyalgia, physical examination, laboratory studies and X-rays are all normal, with the sole exception of subjective muscle tenderness. Bursitis simply means inflammation of a bursa. It is often, although not always, associated with pain. A bursa is a small sac filled with a small amount of fluid that is found between certain muscles, muscles and tendons, tendons and bone, etc.. Its function is to act as a medium to prevent friction between tissues. It helps muscles, tendons, etc. to slide over each other. There are many bursas in the body - particularly in the areas of the shoulders, the elbows, the hips, the knees and the Achilles tendon areas. The illustration below shows a bursa in the shoulder, called the subacromial bursa. The biceps tendon and anatomy of the shoulder are also seen. Tendinitis is an inflammation of a tendon. Tendons attach the muscles to the bones. There are many tendons in the body - in the shoulders, hands, knees, feet and ankles, as examples.

Answer:
Hi -- I think fibromyalgia is actually Lyme disease, a bacterial infedtion that inflames our nerves and soft tissues. Go to www.lymenet.org/FlashDiscussion/MedicalQuestions and read up on it. We generally get it from an infected tick bite. www.Igenex.com is a great testing lab. It's best to work with a Lyme-treating doctor. The folks at lymenet can help you find one. You can also email me at sfrobink@aol.com

Answer:
Yes, I have had it intermittently for about 10 years- long before I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. It came for several months at a time then went. I was X-rayed several times and no changes in the joints were observed. The pain is at the known tender points.

Answer:
Yes! I have FM as a matter of fact my hips, knees and ankles are killing me right now. I am also having a terrible flare up. Going to the Chiropractor tomorrow. That always helps me. I just need to somehow be able to go every week. Then my hips would feel tons better more often. Hope this helps some! =)

Answer:
My hips KILL me, along with my rib cage. When humidity is high, my thighs and hips feel like someone is trying to pull my legs from the socket!! It's almost unbearable. I put heating pads with quilts on and have to lie down!! I had bouts of erythem nodosum off and on since I was a child but thank God have not had one for 3 years this month!

Answer:
I have the hip pain very badly and keeps me awake most nights. I do find a pillow between my legs for sleeping helps quite a bit. Also stretching exercises help to alleviate the pain during the day. Of course walking makes it worse but when I ride my stationary bike and do the stretching it helps tremendously. With FM you never know from day to day what might help. One day it helps the next day not.

Answer:
My fibro also affects my hips. Mine is throughout my lower body. It was basically hips, thighs and knees but now it is affecting my calves, feet and toes. They are on fire right now and nothing helps.

Answer:
I also suffer with severe pain in my hips. Bursitis, osteoarthritis, and I, too believe it hurrts more in Fibro flare. Cortisone injections don't make them more flexible, but sometimes gives some relief from the severe pain. I can't cross my legs at all, I can't put my feet up to put on socks or shoes. I have to finagle with them. I wear no socks and slip on shoes whenever possible. I know there is something out there called a sock-aid, that I will probably get when the weather gets cold. They do work pretty well and are usually provided as part of a kit after you have a hip replacement,.

Answer:
I read somewhere (tonight actually while researching pregnancy and FMS) that there should not be inflammation - HOWEVER I would like to say that myself and a friend whom I have met that suffers from FMS take Naprozxen which is exactly what that takes care of. I would be interested to know if you have been diagnosed with RA? My mother has been diagnosed with RA but I really think she has FMS. I have FMS and alot of her symptoms are like mine. She is of course older than me and I think her pain is more severe than mine but she does have hip pain. I have hip pain from time to time but the majority of my pain is in my upper body. I just realized the question in this post is dated back from 2006 - but hopefully this will help someone. Or possibly someone reading this might be in the same situation as my mom.

Answer:
I would like to correct my statement from earlier - it is Naproxen and I DO NOT take that even though the bottle says do not take in the 3rd trimester but OB GYN said not to take any at all.
