New here- "Migratory" pain?
Hi, I am new here. At the suggestion of a friend, I have been researching FMS in my quest to figure out what is going on with my body.
In late May I had surgery to repair a hernia. I had a lot of pain afterward, more than would be expected, and then the pain basically spread from my abdomen to my whole body.
Now it's about three months out and I still have pain every day, in neck, shoulders, wrists, hands, lower back, hips, ankles and feet. Sometimes the pain causes my fingers or toes to twitch in response. At night I deal with constant twitching...keeps me awake pretty much all night. For whatever reason, the twitching doesn't seem to happen when I am active, only when I am at rest.
Some days the pain is very bad...to the point that I feel like I am internally shaking all day. At these times it feels exhausting to do even simple tasks, like shower. On a good day, I feel aches and pains throughout the day (worst in the morning and evening/night, but maybe just because I am busy and distracted during the day?) but am able to keep going and do everything I need to.
Anyway, in reading about fibro, it really sounds like it fits what I am experiencing, but I read somewhere that the pain of fibro is NOT migratory, but rather an all over the body pain all of the time. Is this true for you?
Thanks for any info. you can provide!
