Hey there everyone… I’m new and I’m reaching out with hopes of finding some understanding. Seems most people… Even those in my house… Seem to think this is all in my head. I am 44 and I’ve had 2 spinal fusions… Had my thyroid removed due to a goiter… I just recently had surgery on my right thumb joint. The dr removed the joint due to arthritis and took a tendon from my forearm and rolled it up put pins to hold it in place … So that’s my new joint. I’m in pain every single day but my pain management dr just in this last year diagnosed me with fibromyalgia. I’ve felt I have had this for quite some time. My mom also has it. I feel like I sit with my heating pad on my back and neck all of my waking hours. Well I will stop here … I hard to come across as too whiney… But I seriously need some understanding!! Hope to get some responses! ~Sue
