The pain sometimes is almost unbearable.

To everyone suffering from fibromyalgia, aerobic exercises like walking/swimming/cycling as well as meditation, muscle stretching and strengthening..good sleep..healthy diet (Minimal junk, minimal sugar) has helped me massively to keep going through the days..with good energy, good mood..the pain is still there but in very lesser intensity..Live healthy and active..that's the mantra for fibro..I wish healing and happiness to all those suffering through this disease.. Remember Fibro is NOT a progressive disease...and with discipline, some patients have even reported to remission of symptoms.. Yes we can do this!! ❤️

I’ve had fibromyalgia since I was 25. Not at 58 I still suffer from major pain everywhere. I also suffer from degenerative disk disease, chronic cluster/.migraines. I’ve tried bio-feedback, nerve blocks, massage therapy, drugs, acupuncture, herbs, nutrition and reconstructive therapy via an Osteopathic orthopedic specialist referred to me by The Boston Pain Clinic, and 100s of other conventional as well as non-conventional treatments that you can think of. Nothing has ever helped except for deep tissue massages every 2 weeks that allows me to remain partially mobile. While I completely understand the concept of educating an individual on the process and factors involved since I am a retired Special Education teacher that specialized in abnormal behavior/ deviance disorders, I can state this does nothing at all. I’ve experienced a few short periods of remission, but it never lasts long. I’ve spent thousands of dollars on mattresses, massage tables, tens units, herbs, minerals, pillows, creams and special diets with nothing to really promote as being effective. Fibromyalgia can and does cause other conditions that are damaging to the body. Classified as an auto immune deficiency, I can attest to the easy at which I contract viruses, thyroid problems, system, and chronic digestive issues. All which are symptoms of having fibromyalgia. Really wish you guys would do an updated video. Respect!

A "good brisk walk" feels good and helps feelings of well-being, yes--until 24 to 48 hours later when the horrible pain sets in. ???

I was just recently diagnosed. I’m always here in the comments but now I have my diagnosis and I’m so happy to see you have a video on it! You guys truly are the best’

I am so grateful for these guys. I have had both R and L total knee replacements in the past year and their advice and exercises augmented my PT and their videos have been instrumental in my recovery. I also have fibromyalgia and your exercises and advice are spot-on. I am an RN working three 12-hour days per week and I’m doing very well. Their humor is also good medicine! Thank you, guys!

just a note, I have fibro and i have a heart rate from 90-100 just standing still... the other people I've talked to with chronic pain have similar high heart rates.

Thank you so much for taking the time to educate people on this subject. Great information! God bless you both! 🙏❤️

“Try and get your heartbeat up to 95 to 100 beats per minute” 🤣 that’s my resting heartbeat even though I’m taking medicine to slow it down. Part of the reason why I’m here lol. No brisk walking for me.

I can't say enough how great you guys are for all your help...Thank You

So glad you explained about pain. It is usually a signal that something is wrong or needs attention. But education is important in these matters. I had Guillain-Barre Syndrome and experienced some excruciating, exquisite pain that was constant. I usually have a high tolerance for most types of pain and this seemed almost unbearable. My doctor explained there were some meds available, but did not recommend their use. He explained like you did that I was "hurting but not harmed". That became my mantra for several long months. So glad I did not take meds as I learned it can cause short term memory loss. Love your channel! I do some of your exercises and recommend you to my clients as I am a licensed massage therapist.

Love you guys!! Thanks for all you do!!

People here comment on walking. I have been living and working with FM all my life, Twenty Nine years since A major flare that has altered my life. Yes I deal with all the symptoms of FM. I was lucky. In 1991, I met a PT that worked with FM patent's and worked with me. I could not function, work any thing. It took over six months of working thru pain. Yes made worse by even walking. Now after nearly three decades, I still walk almost every day even if I feel so bad you just want to die. At least you can smell the air, walk around the block. I walked over four miles yesterday. And yes I came home exhausted. Today ? No flare ups from my activety. If you let FM win. Inactivity makes it worse. I tell you. Just get out and walk. Yes it gets worse before you get better. No walking doesn't cure FM. Just makes your life a little better. Naproxen Sodium helps with the pain. Same thing as with walking. Over the counter 230 mg Taken two pills three times a day. If I can I maintain at two a day, Its the only thing that I found that helps. So just get out of bed and walk.It takes effort,working thru the pain. One day you will look back and say wow. Walking has been a big part of my life. I still feel like crap. Some days worse than others, even so bad I cant walk. I do work also. It can be done, I have met other FM that walk also.

Thank you Bob and Brad!

Thank you for such medical information , it is nice to know

Thank you for this video! Love your channel. Just ordered the workbook. Having FM is tough. The pain and exhaustion is unpredictable. I've done a ton of work and pain education courses but I need more. This workbook hopefully can be helpful in getting intimate with my pain. The pain is a protection, I agree. For me, it's all related to trauma and my body is on alert. Unfortunately it's a full time job to manage this.

Thank you soo much sir for educating us about this problem and vital information .

Love you guys‼️ Needed this 🙏🦋

Great job, guys. This is valid advice

Great info video thanks guys.

These guys are great. Very informatuve and intertaining as well. Funny. !! They give alternative treatments a try and let you know how to try them.

Hey Bob an Brad👋, I'm so happy I found you guy's. I have learned so much about how to deal with my post car accident trauma an injuries. Primarily neck fracture shoulder an back. You both bring me such delight an joy listening how to improve swollen tight muscles an nerve pain with education an especially doing the technique with seriousness coupled with light hearted humor. I find myself smiling when I'm watching almost like you're just talkin to me in my own personal therapeutic session...I'm a nurse by trade started very young in the 80's at 24 when so called proper body mechanics to lift position an turn heavy patients ultimately has hurt me in my later life. Thanks for all you do it really makes a difference in my life each day😌🦋💕

I love your channel. You guys rock. Liked subscribed!

Thank you. Very much appreciated

A lot of PT’s done believe in Fibro. I’m glad you guys do and are willing to help who are suffering.

Thank you 🙏🏾

My FMS symptoms come and do. I can go long periods of time with little to know symptoms and then wham! I'm knocked out and don't want to get out of bed. And its not linked up Depression. I know what Depression feels like.

The sun is the only thing that helps w. My pain!

I never even managed to get diagnosed. After going from specialist to specialist, and loosing the job that provided health insurance, I gave up on doctors. I just tried to push through the pain and treat myself. This past year I gave up on even that. Now at least I finally look like I feel. Edit: I'm finally on Medicaid. So, I'm finally seeing doctors again. So far Fibromyalgia is one of the things that is being treated and we are looking into other autoimmune diseases as well. And I did test positive for Lyme disease antibodies. So, I have had it in the past. I think it is very likely that Lyme disease is what initially triggered much of the rest. But at least now I have doctors who are trying to help me. That gives me hope.

Not one video tells us really what to do.i suffer from horrible horrible fibermyalgia.my fatigue is devastating.i have been to doctor after doctor.nothing.what do we do.please help us who suffer.

The deep breathing that I use is to inhale for a count of 8, hold 4 seconds, then exhale for 8 seconds. I have educated myself about Fibro for the entire 21 years, since I was first diagnosed. I find it very helpful to learn about the disease. Progressive Muscle Relaxation videos are free on KZfaq.

THANK YOU! You are a bIessing to people with problems with the body and most do in some way or another, it seems. I have had this among several things, for over 15 yrs ( normally it happens that way, you end up with more and more things happening given time) and it kills me, as I used to be so well.. and the Northeast ''cold weather/dampness'' really makes me worse with the arthritis and yes, stress or overwork or over exercise ,which is hard anyway. But have found the music called something BEATS on You Tube, for Fibromyalgia , Arthritis, back pain etc etc etc.. and it sounds stupid, but it seems to calm the nerves or something ,and it helped something within me? People feel if you 'LOOK alright, you are fine!" That is nice of them, but does not help.If they only knew the whole truth of it and how hard you fight each day. I appreciate the book suggestion, and all the help with physical therapy. I have had it so long , and have read alot about it. But wish I knew where on earth it came from? This pain can depress anyone. I have the ability to make myself look right and act right, in front of people but later fall apart. I have to "pace myself" but my problem is after being so energetic that people at work said I made " them tired just talking about things that I would do as activities director in adult home" But now I cannot keep up with 80 yr old's! But I will survive. I pray.... But people wonder why I look alright and act alright and then I cannot come to all the meetings or do things one day and then do it alright the next? I have to now stop caring' what people think!' But it bothers me. TY!

I need a body armor heat pack to warm up all of my lymphatic points. The hypersensitivity happens when I bump into an object there’s so much immediate pain. When I fell and hit the last step recently while holding a 22lb Toddler and my rib area would start to bruise immediately if I didn’t apply any ice on it right away. When my body hurts from being with a Toddler all day long. I find Espom Salt baths with Eucalyptus oil and Arnica help greatly. Also having an anti-inflammation diet, also absolutely no sugary drinks or Sodas of any type. Reduce your carbs as well. The pain still exist but is reduced when I do moment exercise to Prince music with my therapeutic moments along with his music , it is very helpful to begin my day with him. Thanks Bob and Brad your the best.

Excited to see a more convenient infrared device. I was thinking I was going to have to break down and get one of those modular saunas. Do you have any experience with those? I’ve heard they are great for chronic pain.

Finally the author of this book hit the nail on the head! Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is a neuroplastic condition and yes, the brain sends off false alarm signals to the body that are overkill, but if one scans the body there is no damaged tissue. This is why in order to get rid of FMS people need to "rewire" their brain. Easier said than done, I know, but I managed to do this for another condition with the same mechanism of the brain shooting off false and painful alarm signals to the pelvis, pelvic floor and pelvic organs--the condition is called pudendal neuralgia (PN). And here's the irony, once I started to get better and the PN wasn't that bad anymore, mainly because I got to the point where I truly let go of my fear of this horrible condition, FMS reared its ugly head and now I'm having to rewire the brain again. Wish me luck!

I am glad I found you guys. You are very informative. Please tell us where we can find this book. and the heating pad ( the name) and where I can order this. I have had fibromyalgia over 25yrs when most people were ignorant of this disease and people thought you were just a complainer because no one could see anything. sincerely. From Boston

So interesting. I got fibromyalgia at the same time I was being diagnosed with lupus. I’m seeing the connections between the two now.

Hi everyone, you guys are great! Lots of good information. I’m a male in 60’s have AS and fibromyalgia. I did a lot of pt in my life but need to credit a yoga teacher for my best fibromyalgia relief. Get a private class to see what you can do and what is best for you. Don’t be afraid to dump a pt or a yoga teacher , they all mean well but many don’t get it. Yoga with the breathing exercises and spinal opening exercises are great ! If I had known what was going on with me earlier I would have postponed where I am. Not negative,just stating that skip the American idea that yoga or pt is weak, do what is needed. It was best thing for me to do, I still do what I can today and am able to keep fibromyalgia at bay. Bless you all , the journey is fun.

Thank you for this information Ive been suffering from Fibromyalgia for years and it has been horrible.

Thank you guys

Love you guys

Thank you for the heads up on the infra-red heat!

Hi guys, great video...very informative. I was wondering if you would do it video on hiatal hernias , heartburn and acid reflux and how going to a chiropractor is the better alternative.

One of my daughters has fibromyalgia. I'm sending her a few of your videos! Thanks!

I have fibromyalgia, essential tremor with ataxia (that I’ve had my whole life), Hashimoto’s + I get tired very easily. I also have a frozen right shoulder and a deep brain stimulator to help with essential tremor & a lead that goes from my thalamus where the electrodes are on either side of my brain down the right side of my neck to the rechargeable battery on the right side of my chest. I’ve tried p.t. but I get so tired &/or I’m in so much pain I don’t do the exercises. However, I’ve subscribed to your channel & I hope it gets me motivated because your program is on video and not on a piece of paper. I’m sorry Bob has ataxia & I will pray for him. Because of ataxia I’ve fallen a lot my whole life - even at the top of a slide when I was in 4th grade & got dizzy& fractured an arm when I fell. I used to be flexible physically & could do a lot more when I was younger: stretching, walking, hiking dancing, bike riding outside. But I’m 68 now with not much energy, dizziness, plodding heavy footsteps & (mostly) ever present pain). I’ve learned from my neurologist that I may have Parkinson’s staring me in the face 5 years from now because of the ataxia. I learned somewhere on the internet that qigong (pron. chigong) + kimchi might help stave off or quell Parkinson’s symptoms. Do you have ANY SPECIFIC EXERCISES FOR ATAXIA? Thank you so much!🕊

I do not eat fast foods,processed foods.fresh vegis,chicken,salmon,turkey,sweet potatoes.hardly any sugar,good grains.this has helped alot.i walk everyday 3 to 5 miles.i force myself to do it.my pain has decreased at least 50%.i also use doterra natural vitamins,omega oils and cell builders.

I'm lying in bed but can't sleep due to my fibro pain in my legs. After 17 years of this hell, it seems like some medical pros are getting close to understanding this syndrome. I went swimming tonight which turns up my pain level. Thank you for caring about us.

Fabulous this

Thank you

So...the book is still saying, as most doctors do, that FM is psychosomatic. That's very frustrating for those of us with it.

Thank you!! I have fibro too

Just wanted to add, systemic inflammatory fibromyalgia is a thing - whenever I have gone to a physiotherapist for my severe fibromyalgia pain, they have all diagnosed real inflammat and injuries / systemic causes for the pain, due to systemic inflammation not just in my brain - so e.g. my feet roll inwards and my hips rotate outwards too much, which led to me developing quads tendonitis and bursitis in both needs (I was unable to walk for around 10 weeks but had severe pain for 2yrs), weakness in my right glute and quad, iv also torn my rotator cuff in my right shoulder from trying to change some bedsheets! And I also get tennis elbow, costochondritis and have pulled my intercostal muscles twice (from coughing, then from being pregnant 1st trimester), and i used to have severe back pain that caused nerve pain all over my body for about 5yrs (that was back when my fibromyalgia started). Oh yh, and iv also got a fibroid tumour in my uterus, poly cysts and an enlarged ovary, PID and endometriosis. So all of my severe pain is due to real inflammatory issues and injuries, not just my pain signals being hyperactive, which is a common misconception about fibromyalgia for some reason. Just wanted to share. Throughout these injuries, all of which I acquired from trying to do normal day to day activities rather than actual things you'd expect to cause an injury, iv found your videos super helpful! :)

Have had FM for more than half my life (30+ years); it was manageable until I got a bilateral knee replacement; then something happened and my pain has been off the charts 24/7. Had to take early retirement/disability 10 years sooner than planned. Can’t walk without a walker. Now on oxycodone ☹️. I’m a pharmacist and have tried everything I can think of. It’s more than depress/discouraging. I understand the “why”, but there is no “how”...

Thank you so much for this! I have f.m and found this very helpful

BUT we have to find WHY our nerves are heightened..mine is the worst in morn .and night.

Use the sauna in replacement of aerobic exercise and heating pad. Get a sauna blanket if you cannot afford.

So good

can you guys P L E A S E do a video on hip labral tears? been ASKING for weeks now! thanks

Thanks broskis

So basically this book says it’s all in my head and I’m lazy. Haven’t heard that before. Great.

I don’t have fibromyalgia, but I’ve had good results with using other alternative approaches to 1- diverticulitis: A diet using simple system of food combinations stopped the flairs, and 2) sinus migraines (I found a KZfaq video showing simple massages on my face that took 15 minutes). Because sinus meds quit working! Good luck! My cousin’s wife really suffers with that.

Thank you for nice explanation. I try stretch and walking on spot. I did not know it was part brain illness. I got after dengue fever

👍🏾EducationExercisebreathing. Many thanks

My husband an athlete says no pain no gain but I have fibro a have the pain with no gain that is I never get better. This is very discouraging.

Guys! I'm shocked that there was no mention of diet in your video here. I have fibro and the biggest game changer for me was cutting out gluten completely, little to no dairy and little to no refined sugar, and small meat portions.

Best guys ever

I didn't find this video to be particularly helpful, though I do appreciate the effort. I'm not sure how useful that book is. I've known that fibromyalgia pain isn't causing actual harm to my body since shortly after I was diagnosed, but that doesn't help me to not hurt! I hurt 24/7 - there is not a second of the day that something (usually most of my body) doesn't hurt. A good day means I'm at 2-3 on a scale of 10 - on a bad day I feel like I'm dying. Knowing that I'm not actually dying does not help the pain to go away. In addition (and quite ironically), I actually have a very high tolerance for pain. As a gymnast, I broke bones, sprained muscles and even hit my leg so hard I actually killed part of my muscle (according to my doctor), but would continue practicing without telling anyone until after practice was over. That being said, one issue I face is not knowing whether my pain is real or fibro. Sometimes I can tell the difference, but not always! I have found out that I actually broke my wrist a few years ago, but had just assumed it was fibro and so didn't seek treatment. And the list of things you guys read as causing the pain to flare up are kind of ridiculous. It makes it sound like we're all just head-cases, that if we wouldn't worry we'd just suddenly be healed! I don't really have any of those worries - what causes me the most pain is lack of sleep! The less sleep I get the more I hurt! It just irks me to hear the quotes from that book saying if I just tell myself I'm "safe" and "not harmed" that my pain will be better managed. I have fully understood that for years. In fact, I have had to tell my family and friends that same thing for years - "yes, I hurt like crazy, but it's not like arthritis, it's not actually doing damage to my body, so it's ok for me to......" But does knowing this help to lower my pain level? No, not at all.

I have it, no help so far. I wish your site on here would go to site. What is this book??? You 2 explain it perfectly.

I’m back bob and brad, I threw out my back and now I’m diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, POTS and RA so in one sense I absolutely love your advice, but in the case of RA it’s degenerative (is that the right word?) so sometimes my pain is harming me (KZfaq comment section is my therapy today I guess) and LOL I have a 150 heart rate from just standing. Hey I wish that meant anything good. Sigh. I gotta get that book though.

Im in pain all the time but live on a farm and things have to be done. My problem is if i sit down for 5 min i cant hardly move much less stand. So i keep going all day long knowing that and only sit down when i know everything’s done.Bad flare ups i can handle about 3 months then it starts effecting me emotionally.

🙄 Nonsense I would expect from anyone who does NOT have fibromyalgia.🙄 That’s not it. That may be an example “brain scan” but it’s not “All in your head”. It’s also not a generalized hypersensitivity to pain in general. I know first hand. I still have a much higher than normal tolerance to almost all external sources of pain. I will literally cut the end of my finger off or accidentally stab my self and the only thing I feel is annoyed because now I have to stop what I’m doing and tend to the blood and open wounds.🙄 It’s random pain for no reason. I’m literally sitting on the couch doing nothing. Then boom! It feels more like the exhausted sore muscles I got the day after the 1st day of basketball camp. Deep muscle pain and cramps. Like the toxins accumulated from over exertion have not been released from the body. But I have done nothing to over exert them. It’s crazy.

I’ve had Fibromyalgia since my pre-teens, and am now in my late 60s… Back then, Dr.’s called it “Growing Pains”, and we were supposed to outgrow them. I remember going to my West Coast city’s Teaching Hospital in my late teens, and being diagnosed with Osteo-Arthritis ; while living on my own/having to work by 19. (Years later, I was told it was a mis-diagnosis). I also recall having FLARE-UPS of (what I thought was Arthritic) pain in my early 20s-mostly in my wrists/hands/fingers/arms-as well as a few other spots in my body. Not until I was in my forties (as a college student) was I poor enough to get on Medicaid, and finally find out it was Fibro. On the other hand, I also have Arthritis, which I know nothing about, except that I did not test positive for RA. On days when the Fibro is obviously active, I end up in bed, and eventually fall asleep. It’s still mostly in my hands, fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulders, with lots of fatigue and possible Depression. I say possible because I was diagnosed (in my 40s) with the severe AD/H/D that I long suspected, along with some other Spectrum Disorders, and Dysthemia, which is Chronic, Low-Grade Depression, which I’ve had as far back as I can recall. (Actually, it’s now a deeper Depression, and the deaths of 2 of my 3 siblings, plus one of my 2 grown children, in 2022, didn’t help). My physical Disability is from six Spinal conditions, including Spondylothesis on my L-4/5 vertebrae, just to make things more confusing! My only income is $914 a month in SSI, so I cannot pay for a workbook ; is it something my Dr. could prescribe, perhaps? Thank you for your good work, Bob and Brad.

I love the spirit of "Be an encourager, the world has enough critics already."

Can't find the book you are referring to on your website about Fibromyalgia .. Where can I get it? What is the name of it?

Im 47 ex hockey player was super fit... 10 years ago i found i had kidney cancer. Had surgery it worked but later developed Fibromyalgia it's so debilitating and depressing.

Is there any study where people share their experiences. I have learned so much more from other sufferers and what they tried.. I can tell myself that I'm not being injured by the pain but when I'm hurting like hell it does not make me feel any better. Avoiding inflammatory foods can help. Therapudic massage can release the knots and adhesions that form but hurts your wallet. Increasing anti-inflammatory supplements may help. We all seen to suffer the same common pain and fatigue but other things differently. I am sensitive to chemicals, strong smells, light, fabrics can be intolerable if not very soft, a firm touch is painful, strong changes in barometric pressure can set off flare ups. Of course it is much worse during flare ups but this stuff is everyday. Ask me if I get depressed. Who wouldn't. I go to sleep with ice packs. Maybe that can help someone.

Dr Weir’s 4-7-8 breathing technique has helped me in SOOO many ways. If you can’t walk, try some squats and arm movements for a min or so at least to get the blood pumping. Arm circles while slowly walking in the morning with my dogs has helped me with both my pain and my anxiety. Watching the sun rose out getting a happy light helps awaken the brain and relieves brain fog and sets circadian rhythm which I have had a huge problem with for many years from my bipolar disorder. Now it’s worse with my fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. So it’s more important than ever to do it every morning.

How can you run if you are so fatigued and in pain that you can hardly get out of bed?

Read book What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Fibromyalgia by R. Paul St. Amand, MD, and Claudia Craig Marek

With fibromyalgia can you get wobbly and shaky inside?

I recently saw a KZfaq video by a Dr studying fibromyalgia who reported that he suspected a central nervous issue. They didn't have a lot of money for research, so they took x-rays of the necks and I forget what other part of many patients with fibromyalgia and discovered that in a large portion of them they had neck alignment issues where the nerves were being pinched! If you have it, it might be something to check out. I suspect my daughter has fibromyalgia rather than RA. It's something we can check out.

Where. can I get the book?

What is name of book? The link isn’t working

These two remind me of bill and Ben flower pot men song intro 😂 they okay sometimes gives good ideas to try. Often they interrupt each other a bit a bit quite funny. I like these people that brain diagram the red areas when I in a bad flair I get migraines in those red areas most general doctors don’t understand migraine regarding fibromyalgia these guys closer to truth than my own gp

where can I get the book. the link above is taking me to a non-existent site. ? appreciate that.

Does the pain come on very fast and leave just as fast? I think I have had this for years.

Had fibromyalgia for 30 years. Have appt to get a spine stimulator. Not much faith in other treatment helping after this long. Almost bed ridden at this point

This way of thinking I think can be damaging. We don't look at someone with arthritis from joint wear and tear and say so this is hurting because you over used this joint let's look at why you are overusing this joint and delve into the psychology of why you have been doing the thing that has caused the overuse. I agree FM, in part, is brain and hypersensitive nerves or the blocking of the bodies own pain relief response and stress impacts greatly on this. But I also believe it is much more than that and to tell someone who is going through such pain, breathe deeply and remember you're safe is demeaning. Medication has to be at the forefront of this illness along with finding complementary therapies that work alongside. I felt this was a bit like saying "cheer up, it's all in your head" to someone with depression. (I have fibro and am finding the balance between meds and physical therapy)

Since I started taking a med for fibromyalgia I find that so far its not helping my pain much and I have developed headaches. My physician says its a side effect. There are days that I don't get out of bed!

Brisk walk? Impossible

Essentially it’s all in my head? And education could have alleviated all this time. Damn…

Defending your body🤙🏾

I saw many if your videos for various things and not one thing ever helped me. I see a physical therapist in Australia weekly for a year and nothing helps my constant 24,7, excruciating fibromyalgia pain.

I have been going between neuro and ortho for 4 yrs pinched nerve i neck 2 shoulder ops from my job as a hairdresser...now been diagnosed with fibro....ive had all the drugs and all gave me side effects so now its epsom salts baths massages and cbd oil.....plus once im up and about i stay moving

Can diplopia (strabismus) be a symptom of fibromyalgia? (eye muscle)

Some days I could just die it hurts so bad. And to think in the beginning it was all in my head and then it was i was drug seeking. I don't take pain killers so neither was it.

The link for the book doesn't work...😥

The book link does not work

I have had fibro for a long time along with ME. AND NOW ALSO disk bulge L3 L4 L5 S1 DEGENERATIVE CHANGES AT LEFT SACROILIAC JOINT OF THE RIGHT. CHANGES AT BILATERALLY AT HIP JOINTS WORSE ON THE RIGHT PARTIAL FUSION OF PUBIC SYMPHYSIS MRI AND XRAY ALL SAY SMALL BULGE OR MINOR CHANGES BUT OMG THE PAIN ON MY HIPS BELOW BELT LINE AND PAIN SO BAD DOWN THIGH TO JUST ABOVE KNEE AND INTO GROIN CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY PAIN IS THIS BAD IF EVERYTHING IS SAYING SMALL OR MINOR I CANT HANDLE THIS ANYMORE

I suffered for 30 yrs. Before accidentally finding a cure for my pain !!! If you are NOT caffeine sensitive try drinking coffee all through the day. I drink cold brew from 7am to 6pm but you can try a different schedule. After doing this I checked to see if any studies proving this reduces pain were documented and they have been! Also proven to reduce amount of pain meds needed. Look it up !!! Try a little at a time to find your dosage & increase a bit❤
