Osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia help 🙏
Hello
I'm looking for some advice on hip and neck/shoulder/spine arthritis and fibromyalgia flare ups. I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis a couple of years ago but it's getting much worse. I have greater trochanteric pain syndrome too which makes sleeping impossible. I've been referred to hospital to see if fibromyalgia is now playing a part in my all of my problems. I just feel so alone and anxious about everything. Pain relief doesn't help. I try and swim and use sauna and cold showers which does help a bit. Does anyone have any suggestions to help me?
