Fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis

Traceyl

Hi. Is fibromyalgia common with osteoarthritis?

I have telling the doctors that my osteoarthritis pain is in my whole leg and also my arms. I am fatigued and quite weak. Takes 2 hands to lift a mug of coffee. Any ideas??

thanks

Hi @Traceyl not common but I think not unheard off. As regards the fatigue have a look at

Hope you get a bit better soon and get the diagnosis sorted

Hi I have fibromyalgia & oesteoarthritus. GP keeps saying exercise is the only way forward to help with pain & fatigue. Tho I find it hard to keep it up regularly. When I do tho I notice a difference.
