Diagnosis?

I am new on the app and to the community. I appreciate the community space here and I have done a lot of reading from your stories/questions and answers.

For the past 8 years I have dealt with pain that feels like being stabbed with “a million flaming thumb tacks.” Comes on suddenly disapates into tingling (like a hand falls asleep). Rolls in waves. No triggers identified. Working with my doc, and he seems to think it’s Fibromyalgia or something a lot like it. I am new to all of this because this is the first time a doc is making progress toward a solution.

How did you find answers/a diagnosis?

Welcome to the community ViciJR. I went to a rheumatologist to diagnose my fibro. My primary care doc and pain management docs DX my osteoarthritis.

Thanks AminalLover2. Did you ever see a neurologist?

Welcome vicijr. I’m so happy you joined this wonderful community I don’t have fibromyalgia but I do have complex regional pain syndrome I have had it for 8 going on 9 years. I was diagnosed by a pediatrician when I was 7

Talia14, thanks for sharing.

Yes I've seen neurologists. Mostly for vertigo. Also for neuropathy, headaches and tremors.
