Suggest Treatment For Chronic Pain In The Hip, Elbow And Shoulder
I have chronic pain in my left hip, left elbow, left shoulder and right hand. This has been going for about 2 years. I saw a Rheumatologist who prescribed Cymbalta and has raised it to 90 mgs per day but I have not been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I am trying to find out what it is I am experiencing since I don t fit the classic fibromyalgia symptoms. I have no swelling and warmth in my joints, although my legs do burn and I do have stiffness and dizziness in the morning and have tremors. I am a 52 year old female. Thanks for your help

Hi,
It might be due to advanced arthritis. You can continue your routine drugs.
You can take analgesics like Tramadol or Oxycodone for pain relief as these are quite effective for this condition.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
