Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Constant Pain In The Legs And Feet When Diagnosed With Fibromyalgia?
I have constant pain in legs and feet. I was diagnosed with neuropathy several years ago and fibromyalgia 10 years ago. Pain medicine does not help and I sleep for 3 to 4 hours a night. I was prescribed Lyrica but it had awful side effects. Any suggestions?
Hello FIbromyalgia is a condition where the patient is in pain and in anxiety both. So I think only pain killers will never work. I would advise you to take mild anti depressants (ask your doctor about the medicine) too. Antidepressants helps in relaxing the tight rigid muscles and also induce sleep. However I would add Tab Sarpgandha (Serpentina) 2bd HS with lukewarm milk. It is a natural anti depressant and helps in the relaxation of muscles. It is a nervine tonic too.
Thanks Dr. Tripat Mehta
