Yes Fibromyalgia does cause pain and swelling all over your body including your feet and legs. I'm one that suffers from fibromyalgia real bad. I am always in pain. I feel for any one that suffers from this disease. I have to take water pills for the edema I get all over my body! I exercise everyday and the following day I barely can get out of bed. Because My body aches like I have been hit by a truck. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia when I was 16. I'm now 37. Take care!

Bless your heart I have it and it is no picnic. Levels of pain and
fatigue in some people appear to be as bad as in rheumatoid arthritis. I would be glad to answer any of your questions if you email me. There are several web sites with info. Fibromyalgia is a poorly understood medical condition characterized by soft tissue pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance and widely distributed areas of tenderness known as tender points. You can locate the tender points on the net. I do believe that your feet and legs may be from something else. Your knees can bother you especially at the tender points. Try to relax when you can and remember not to over do it there will be good days and bad and on the good you want to kick in in over drive but you have to take it slow because you pay for it the next day if you don't. I have noticed stress is a big factor also. I am sorry to get off track. Try to find a good doctor that understands your condition.

I'm really sorry to hear this, fibromyalgia is literally a pain in....the whole body.
First of all, you double check you have it because it is REALLY difficult to diagnose, most of the times is another thing, it's quite confusing.
I advise you to treat it different disciplines at the same time, and make sure that you get Emotional treatment, believe me, most of the problems associated to fibromyalgia is caused by emotional issues ( during childhood, or things related to your past ).
It is very painful.
Try this:
Get checked by bio-magnetic specialist, a kenyesiolgist, a specialist on the Iris, and a good psychiatrist, and try to use Aromatherapy to get some help with the pain, ( OIL 31 is excellent).
Good luck !!!

I also have fibro and have found that almost anything seems to come under the umbrella. Certainly the pain issue does but swelling I'm not sure. Certainly areas seem to feel swollen and if it is not a circulation (suggestion you have seen a doc) i would app;ly the wait and see approach and in the mean time continue with the diuretic (la six) and perhapes keep your legs up when able. Night watching tv etc, put them up higher than your hips. Good luck.

Fibromyalgia (fye-bro-my-AL-gee-ah) is an arthritis-related condition that is characterized by generalized muscular pain and fatigue. The term "fibromyalgia" means pain in the muscles, ligaments and tendons. This condition is referred to as a "syndrome" because it's a set of signs and symptoms that occur together.

my mom has fybromyalgia. Once she started crying suddenly and holding her arm like she had broken it, she was sobbing and the next week it was fine. The pain was off and on, and she knew she hadn't broken the arm. Anyways, we found something to relieve her pain and give her a stronger immune system. There are new all natural mineral supplements that work at the root of the problem, breaking down proteins that trigger a violent response from over-sensitive nerve cells. The supplement is soothing the nerves, and repairing other body systems as well.
The supplements are inexpensive, easy to take and have no negative side effects.
email me for more info, Id love to help!
