For the last week I ve had quick sharp pains in my left calf then moved to my left hip then to my left breast and now to my left top row of teeth... With a headache. Its so weird to me that its all on my left side. I am female 47 years of age and I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 2 years ago. Could tha be the cause of all these weird pains within a week?
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. As you been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, this condition called fibromyalgia is an inflammation of the fibers of the muscles. The muscle is composed of numerous muscle fibers and inflammation there leads to pain. Due to inflammation of the muscle fibers there is slowing of the metabolism and also excess production of lactic acid.Also, the sharp pain in hip and calf can be related to the pinched nerve in the lumbar spine as the para spinal muscles must have got weaker. Also, taking physical therapy - Therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy should help reduce pain. But the important role will be played by the exercise as to strengthen the muscle and improve the output of the muscles. In my clinical practice such cases respond well to physical therapy.
