Unfortunately the past two months I have been mainly bed bound. So I don’t understand why four days ago my back has completely had it. Any movement is excruciating. Ive been taking panadeine forte but that’s not touching the pain. If I touch my back, it doesn’t hurt from that though? I don’t know what to do. It’s 10/10 pain when I move.
I don’t think I can sit up for long so i’m really not wanting to go to emergency to wait for a few hours. Then there’s the problem that theres covid outbreak where I live too.
Does anyone have any idea what’s happening to me? It doesn’t feel like my normal fibro pain. I’m in tears. I can only deal with so much.
I’ll be talking to a doctor tomorrow.
Hi! Rosellas! Here’s what happened to me one day several years ago. I bent over to put a new pair of underwear on and BAM! My back seized up and I could hardly walk. I want to think that, that’s what people say “ when their back goes out”. It hurt to do ANYTHING!!! My back didn’t hurt when someone touched it. I couldn’t work for several days. Pain medication didn’t help. Rest. Rest. Rest. It was a type of pain I’d never experienced before. It has never happened again. Maybe that’s what happened to you? Maybe in your sleep? Of course I told everyone that I bent down to put on a sock.
It sounds like I may have hurt myself in my sleep. You’re describing exactly how i’m feeling. So frustrating that no matter how careful we are, we still get hurt anyway. Underwear for goodness sake!!
Doctor has put me on Tramadol for the weekend. If it persists I’ll get some scans. I’m definitely resting though, not like I have much of a choice anyway
Thank you for helping me feel not so alone in this.
Hello again Achy Backy! I remembered something that my doctor did give me, a muscle relaxant. Basically, my muscles all seized up at once. That did help some. I didn’t have fibromyalgia at that time or any back issues. In my case, it was a one time event. Underwear… I guess It doesn’t always have your BACKside.
Ask for a prescription for Tizanidine. You may have a pinched nerve. Get an Xray, and an MRI to look up close in 3d of the nerves, soft tissue, bones and disks.
The pain isnt as bad, but its definitely still there. I didnt cope today because of that and a bad flair up. I hate resorting to opioids.
The doctor didnt seem concerned to do any scans but that may be because we’re in lockdown at the moment.
I feel like I’m in limbo right now. I dont really know what I should be doing.
Does it feel like you muscles are tight? Did your doctor mention anything about taking a muscle relaxer? It’s amazing what happens to our bodies. And having fibromyalgia makes the pain feel worse than someone who doesn’t have fibromyalgia. You said you were bed bound for 2 months??? Due to fibromyalgia??? I’m so sorry you have been in so much pain. I understand the tears. How long have you been in lockdown? What does that involve where you live? I’m tired so that might not make sense. Do you have any support? I hope you are not all alone. Well…you’re not totally alone because you have us! And we care about you! A lot!
My doctor hasn’t given me anything else but the pain seems to have subsided into the ‘normal pain’ now…
Bed bound for about three months now and counting. Nothing out of the ordinary has brought this on, though my health has been on a steady decline since the beginning (10 years ago).
We’ve been in lockdown since just after I was bedridden. It just means that we can’t go out unless it’s completely necessary. Specialists aren’t considered necessary neither are any other doctor unless they advise otherwise over the phone. I have my husband as my main support so i’m not alone… but sometimes fibro makes me feel alone regardless.
You’re so very lovely i’m glad to have found this group and people who properly understand me
