Fibromyalgia or something else? Pain in thigh and entire left leg+knee
Hello, I have a history of fibromyalgia, but this pain is a bit different. It’s started a few days ago and gradually got worse. Started as a pain in the buttocks, and it hurts when I put pressure on my leg with my hand. It is also stiff to the touch. I can describe it as being an ache and that it’s been run over by a car. Is this simply just another bout of fibromyalgia, or maybe something more? Quite worried, any help would be appreciated

What can be done for Arthiris in knees and hips
It is also in back and neck
Yes and back of my head to
I have a history of endometriosis and celiac disease. Before I was diagnosed in 2014,the endo. had formed a chocolate cyst on my ovary. Eventually I had a total hysterectomy 5 years ago. Now I sometimes get a feeling like someone is poking my back with their finger, but only when the weather is about to storm. It is in the same general location as the original chocolate cyst. Is this a type of arthritis? (it isn't really in the spine, but just below my ribs-left side). Has the endo. returned? I've been to so many different ob/gyns because they don't believe me, whenever I have strange pains. I have always been right and it has always ended up being endo. (or possible endo). I don't really want to go to an ob/gyn when they don't believe me.
Here are some things to try, my sciatica is gone and has not come back:
- Ultrasound really helped to break up the knotted muscles.
- Ice pack to sore spots
- Sleep with a pillow under your legs (if you are on your back), between your legs if you are on you side. This takes the pressure off the lower back which will ease the cramping.
- Also can elevate the feet. If you do not have a bed that will automatically fold the feet up, just take a piece of luggage or other object to put between the mattresses to raise the feet up a small amount (this again takes pressure off the back).
After bakers cyst and osteoarthritis,this pain behind the left knee (bakers cyst) the pain and swelling moves up from the back of the knee to half way up the leg. It's too painful to bend my leg so it's one step at a time up and down the stairs...3 floors. It could be sciatica.
