Chronic Illness 4d
My joints and muscles are hurting and feel like they’ve been pulled/injured for no apparent reason. I got a mild shoulder injury a few days ago then could barely move my neck from that, then it extended to my entire upper then lower back. ——

— and now my wrist started hurting, and my hips. My knee also feels like it was injured quite badly, and my foot, I’ve noticed some bruising on my legs (unexplained and I rarely ever bruise). I’m overall more fatigued and low energy, and getting random pains all over, the joint/muscles pain is about 5/10 and the random pains are between a 4-7/10

Its a bit worrying, and really frustrating especially that my labs over the last few months have been coming back normal. I hate this is happening now and really dislike how it is very painful but still unexplainable.

not saying it’s Definitely this of course, but all of that *could* be consistent with fibromyalgia? injury leading to pain in additional areas, the fact that it’s both joints and muscles, the easy bruising, the fatigue, no clear red flags in bloodwork—all of that lines up with my experience of fibro

if you think there’s any chance that might be what you’re dealing with, I would highly suggest looking up the pressure points associated with fibro diagnosis and checking if those areas are disproportionately tender on you. pressure point test is how I got diagnosed after over a decade of chronic pain that didn’t neatly align with my other diagnosis

Did they check your vitamin levels? This sounds like when my iron, b vitamins, and vitamin d were low. I do have ehlers danlos, polymyalgia, and celiac so those were all playing a role too but I've felt much better since my vitamins got leveled out.

My vitamin d levels were slightly low but not very significant - and have been keeping up with my supplements. I am trying to get other issues diagnosed but have not had strong luck unfortunately
