Hyper-mobility and FMS? Bones cracking alot.. - Fibromyalgia Message Board

the mad katter · 10-14-2006, 02:42 PM

I was wondering if anyone had their bones cracking alot at certain times. I totally have FMS and have known it for 3 yrs now, I am now 29.
I am also the daughter of a Chiropractor and he worked on me too young and often and now I think there is a connection with my pain and the constant bone cracking from the Hyper-Mobility also called HMS. There have been some sites up mentioning this, and it's pretty spooky. Please let me know what you think, as I am going into the Hospital tomorrow eve.

a lot of people who have fibro are hyper flexive!!! I am .. i didnt find out that it was a problem until i had knee surgury and was going thru physical therapy. the therapist couldnt believe my range of motion after just having the surgury. I also read about it in Dr Devlin Starlnyl (sp?) her book is considered the blue bible of fibro.. it is called Fibromyalgia and Myofascial Pain Syndrome. It is a wonderful book!!! I only went a chiropracter for a short time with a sciatic nerve problem. All of my joints -- bones -- creak and crack!!! I can also pop my hip in and out of place!!! sometimes if a joint is reallt hurting I can pop it and it releaves the pain for a bit. I also went for years with what my rheumy and I thought was a fibro spot from my neck to my right shoulder and at times into my arm. What it really was is DDD ( degenerative Disc Disease) and cervical radiculopathy.. i have nerve damage down my right arm past my elbow! So dont assume that something is a fibro "spot" always check it out thoroughly!!!

better to be safe than sorry!!!!

Let us know how you are doing!!!!

IndySasha,

I'm curious, what tests did you have done to get the DDD & cervical radiculopathy dx? MRI? Contrast or no? Or what?

And the biggie: how do they treat your condition? Surgery? Meds? Effective?

Thanks for your reply.

I'd also like to add that I took my MRI's with contrast to a Rhuematologist and everyone nearly everyone said there we're no abnormaities they could see. But I know, that I can pop nearly everything in the viscinity that is hurting. I just can't remember if the popping was b/c of my menses, or because of the weather change? Not sure. But my Dad, adjusted me as a child alot, I was having reservations about going to the hospital tonight, But I dunno yet I would love to hear some more replies! I'm all alone in this, I can't believe that I'm very marooned up here in the Windy City. I hope I make it thru Winter.

I *will* look up DDD for sure. I had some tingling in my arms and things and I'm having spasms all over the place. But most of my pain radiates from my problem areas of my spine. But I can only get so many adjustments! I get atleast 2 a month with accupuncture... Thanks for the hug! Appreciate that!

I had a head CT scan done. I dont do contrast ( i am allergic to the dye)
I had a cervicel epidural done once, it really helped

Currently I am seeing a neurologist because I had a seizure on Sept 5.. had a EEG a week ago and on the 24th I am having a LP ( lumbar Puncture/Spinal Tap)
also waiting for them to schedule a MRA { like a MRI except no contrast and it is of the arterys in my neck) they are thinking the arthritis in my neck may have built up and is pushing against the arterys in my neck..??? who knows
please keep me informed!!!
