The rheumatologist I saw said that my leg problems I have had since I was an infant may have been a "precursor" condition to fibromyalgia. I have never heard of fibro having a pre-condition. Anyone seen anything information about this? |

Yes I know what a precursor is because it's the reason I've got fibro . I was hit by a drunk driver while on the back of my brothers motorcycle a week after i had my oldest daughter . I was 17 at the time . I found out I had fibro in 96 fifteen years after the orginal trauma !!! My doctor said fibro can be handed down then it becomes active after a severe trauma like a car crash or a blow to the head ... I guess back in 81 the doctors didn't know to much because I suffered for over 15 years and did not know what was happening to me ! Hope this has helped ... |

I never heard a precursor but I know that other conditions cause leg problems, even from childhood. Why doesn't the dr. investigate those? |

Various doctors have ruled out a lot of things. There's only one or two I know of that they haven't checked into, but no one even takes those seriously coming from me. One main concern I have is that exercise is recommended for fibro and such, but some conditions are actually made worse by exercise. |

I also have hypothyroidism...this, among others conditions, is a precurser to fibromyalgia. As far as exercise goes, if I exercise first thing in the morning, I usually have a good day...little or no pain; if I exercise at the end of the day, after I may already be in pain, the pain either goes away or lessens within a half hour...but it's a hard half hour! I think the kind of exercise is what's important. I do a lot of yoga type stretching...pilates is prob. great.... then some weight training (if fibromyalgia weakens muscles, strengthen them) and some cardio, like walking, biking. If anything, I would say that not moving...sitting or lying down...causes me the most pain (which doesn't help the sleep benefit). Helpful? |

hey my Dr. said that it comes from continuos repetitive trauma,such as you have described,I figure mine was caused from 10 yrs of regular beatings from my ex,and the falls I have had because of it trauma to the body no matter what the cause can bring this on |

Yes, Spirit, I believe precursors to fibro are possible. These are the things that possilbly lead to fibro in myself: - Rabies injections
- near death experience
- hepatitis B
Anything that upsets the body in a harmful way, I believe, could cause it. As a child I suffered from regular night pains in my legs, as well. These were never diagnosed; nobody takes me seriously either.... mary |

Hi, Just to let you know that I have also fibro and since last year, psoriatic arthritism. I have alway had pains in my legs since I was diagnosed with fibro and it became worse when I got arthritis. My rheumy referred to a physiotherapist and since i feel a lot better. That physiotherapist game me some exercises to do and also recommended that I go to a gym, gentle exercises. I haven't had a chance yet to go to a gym, but since I started physiotherapy, the pains in my legs have improved a lot. Gym is the next thing I will be doing. My legs were burning plus I had throbing pains. Hope this helps you. Why Me |
