Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist 's  Response
hi,

thank you for brief history.

since your physician has diagnosed you with fibromyalgia I think you should know a little deep about it. human skeletal muscle tissue is composed of muscle fibers. having inflammation in the fibers of muscles is called fibromyalgia. now since you are taking medication you need to look further by helping the muscle to become stronger and improve the metabolism of the muscle. you can meet up a physical therapist who might help by using TENS for your pain relief and therapeutic ultrasound therapy for reducing the inflammation of the muscle fibers. Later on you may be guided for some exercises which you can follow at home. Also try doing meditation, yoga, breathing exercises and body conditioning. As I have seen patients with fibromyalgia and they have been helped with this & all are much fine. Taking high dose of medicine will not be good for future so avoiding high dosage or too much medicine is of recommendation.

I hope you will get helped by my answer.

with the grace of God i wish you a speedy recovery
