I am one of the lucky ones that the radio ablasion works for but my fibermyalgia still flares up in that area because I landed really hard on my coycx. Doc told me every bad injury will come back to haunt me with the fibermyalgia and I will feel the pain more intensely. He is right , my flare ups are in the areas that I have been in the areas that have been injured in the past. An ice pack on my butt helps me cope.

I agree, it seems that every pain or injury is intensified by Fibromyalgia. The doctors appear to be baffled. Up to this point, it's been a process of trial and error, with the errors predominating. Your remark about ice packs resonated with me; I grabbed mine while writing this post. Ice packs provide the best temporary relief for me, especially during long car journeys. With numerous doctor's appointments 1.5 hours away, I rely on someone to drive me so that I can use my cushion, apply ice, and reposition myself more often. Its just not the life I wanted. But reality is - got to accept where I am at
