I know how you feel. My mother was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 8 years ago. She is in shocking pain for which she takes prednisolone. She is allergic to many things so this is her only option. She also suffers from extreme tiredness and very weak and sore muscles. She also has Mitochondriamyopathy which contributes to the fibromyalgia. I have been having a lot of trouble for several years now and my physiotherapist thinks I have fm as well. I can understand how you must feel. Are you very sensitive to touch? that seems to be a major problem for my mother and I. I don't know if there is any other suggestion to help with pain since you are on meds, apart from hydrotherapy which is what I am doing at the momment. It allows you to get moving more freely without the weight of your body putting strain on your muscles. Keep moving for as long as you can, the hydro really does help. Good luck.

I have heard that APPLE CIDER VINEGAR (pill form can be purchased now) taken first thing in the morning helps alleviate the pain, as well as daily exercise, as contradictory as that might sound, moving the joints eliminates the stiffness, especially if you do them in a tub of hot water.  Meaning placing affected hands, wrists, elbows, etc. into a tub of hot water and moving your hands around.\n\nGood Luck and prosper ...;*!*;...

I have no idea what joint you are referring to but you likely pinched a nerve. Don't push it as you will just make it worse.  The stiffening is the muscle tightening because the nerve is injured.  You shouldn't do anything until it's 100 percent better.  It's very easy to injure yourself when you are being athletic so don't forget to do warm ups etc.  All the things you do now will come back to haunt your body later...TRUST ME on that one.

Maybe it is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Go see your doctor. Maybe he can advice you to use your hand differently.

you should probably go to the doctor...but im 20 and i have that some times...its probably just something you're doing with your arm you know?

It sounds like some sort of nerve entrapment syndrome...and when you are bending your hands in a certain way, it is putting additional strain on nerves that don't have much room to move around...leading to pain.  Most people with something like this will often complain of tingling and/or a numbness sensation, as well.  It is similar to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (which is the most common type of nerve entrapment syndrome).\n\nBut...it is really hard to say that this is what it is for sure.  If you see a doctor for an exam, a thorough examination might help.  Also, there are "nerve conduction" tests they can do.\n\nIn the end, if this is the problem...sometimes avoidance of certain activities help considerably.  Also, anti-inflammatory medications (such as ibuprofen) regularly can help.  Occasional splinting is also helpful.  Weight loss is also very helpful, if the person with this problem is very overweight.  If all this fails and problems get worse, surgery is considered...to "open" the area up where the nerve is being "pinched".\n\nIn any event, a full exam by a doctor could help figure out if this is the cause or something else.\n\nI hope this helped some!

It sounds like you have a strain, with some minor inflamation, which is putting pressure on the nerve.\n\nAcupuncture is especially effective in this type of situation. If you don't want to seek outside care, you\ncould try acupressure and massage, at home.  \n\nOf course, if there is still swelling you should ice your hand.  Whether there's swelling or not, soaking your hand in warm water and epsom salts will help.  Especially in conjunction with massage afterward. Massage up the tendon line from the affected finger tip.  And, do make sure to include the wrist and forearm if you feel that the stress-line runs up into your arm.  Good luck!\n\nGood luck!

It depends on the severity of the injury.  Have you been to a doctor who specialises in muscular problems?  There is also the possibility that you have damaged the ligaments in your hand and this is affecting the mobility of your hand.  The ligaments help to control the directions in which the bones are capable of moving, a change in the movement pattern of the bones in your hand could indicate that you have damaged the ligaments.  \nI would definately reccomend not doing pushups.  Being capable of doing pushups does not mean that you should be doing them if you feel pain.  This could be causing your body to heal a lot slower than it otherwise would.  Also if you have hurt it bad enough it could be an injury you carry for life.\n\nBut above all, go see a muscle specialist.  If the bone doctors are all saying the same thing but there is not an improvement in your condition then it is probably a good idea to seek a different kind of doctors opinion.

Your dislocated elbow should be fine in about 3 weeks. You probably will be able to lift again after 6. You need to undergo supervised physiotherapy. See a Rehab doctor. By the way, you do a lot of texting, don't you? I can tell by the way you wrote NE thing for anything.

Sounds like you have injured your rotator cuff.  Go to a doctor, get some x-rays, lay off using the shoulder for lifting weights.  Put ice on the shoulder to reduce swelling, and then heat to make the muscles relax.  Get a massage.  \n\nThe best you can do is to go to your doctor and get a professional opinion.  \n\nCheers, K

Have you tried exercising 7 days a week and beginning to eat correctly? I have had a chronic shoulder injury for over 2 years now and Im a pretty serious athlete. I've had depression for a while now and I've developed some other psychological disorders as a result of my injury. When I get over my shoulder injury, stand back.\n   I recently sold most of my posessions so I could get money in order to take time off from work to heal my MINOR injury. When I was working out before, I didnt have depression, and it has been proven that exercise can help to keep depression at bay.\n   IF(thats a big IF), you are a young and healthy women that is able to workout, I would take advantage of this blessed opportunity and workout seven days a week. You dont need the drugs. B-complex vitamins are helpful with depression, but it is said that alcohol will eliminate your b-vitamin supply. So if you have depression, stay away from hopps(in beer), and other alcoholic substances. Take a 10 dollar b-comples vitamin, and do different exercises each day of the week. Bye bye depression.

Bruce just live, exercise is part of normal life. if you don't move enough your body will not work well. even going to the toilet is funtioned by good movement. you must find a good motivation, walking, running, cycling, swimming, I am disabled to certain degree 30%, but I try to move as much as possable, walking in the mountains cycling along side a river. I have to go to hospital next week for a knee replacement in the right side, unyet I spent a week looking after a friends dog, in a high mountain, walking, and enjoying fresh air, since I know what movement I have now, I will have the benifit after my operation. you must not let your muscles fail at an early age, you will be worse as you get older. enjoy life, exercise also gets a control on depresion, which if you are not getting out enough, I would say you are suffering with. you will enlarge most muscles and blood supply, which I am sure you know you need to enlarge****

I had hand surgery about 6 yrs ago. When the weather changes the tendons are very tight. Just have to exercise it more. \n\nNot unless in your case, the ligament wasn't stretched correctly??? The new surgeon might have some new technique to help you. Worth going to that appointment with all your questions.

i have never had this problem but i do know that the sooner you see a physiotherapist the better chance you have of everything returning to normal.  sometimes light, controlled exercise is better than doing nothing and letting the muscles waste further.  other times need complete rest.  i really do think you should phone a physiotherapist and get advice as soon as you can.  hope you feel better soon.

Obviously go to a doctor to see if you have something wrong.  You just never know.  So have it checked out by a standard doctor first.  If it is nothing...then:\n\nGo to a chiropractor and get adjusted.  Sometimes it is just that you are out of alignment.\n\nAlso, you may have built up one shoulder by using it more than the other.  Do light weights with the other arm to equal them out if they are different in size.
