Suggest Treatment For Fibromyalgia, Achilles Tendonitus Flair Up And Collapsed Left Foot
I have was diagnosed with Fibro shortly after my second son was born. Since then I have had four sinus surgeries and planters facetious, which entailed minor foot surgery in Feb of 12. I have recently battled Achilles Tendonitus flair up in the beginning of June of this yr.... dealing with heel spurs. I knew I had a collapsed left foot, but now have two. Could fibro be a reason for this, being that the doctor thinks that this is tendon related and a heredity related disorder. Being that fibro is a tendon, ligament and muscle disorder, I was wondering if there is any chance they are directly related. Thank you

Hello,
Fibromyalgia may involve multiple joint pains, stiffness, chronic fatigue, disturbed sleep etc. Less likely to damage joints and tendons. Possible differential diagnosis is reiters syndrome, seronegative arthritis, connective tissue disorders, rheumatoid arthritis and crystal deposition.
Use cold and warm compression, get it done ANA, Thyroid profile, RA factory, ESR, CRP and X-ray of affected joints. Use anti inflammatory medications. If no improvement please consult with your rheumatologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
