Suggest Treatment For Fibromyalgia And Severe Pain In Hip And Thigh Area
Hopefully, thanks for asking! My girlfriend has been diagnosed with FM. Her pain is severe in her hip and thigh area. I have been massaging her hips for a couple of weeks, and her pain has diminished greatly. I noticed she had these tender ridges in her hips that you could barely touch. After massaging her hips, the pain and the ridges have nearly disappeared. What could this be ?

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hello, Thanks for your query. Fibromyalgia can not be totally cured, you can only minimise symptoms by taking various medications. As you can take amitryptiline and duloxetin or you can start Lyrica (pregabalin) consulting you’re treating doctor.
Exercises and stretches plays important role in maintaining symptoms of fibromyalgia.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and tens will help, along with knee exercises.
A holistic approach is required, which includes exercises, meditation, SKY [sudarshan kriya yoga] and acupuncture along with healthy diet and herbs.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
