Horrible leg pain with fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia | Last Active: Dec 7, 2025 | Replies (79)Comment receiving replies
Hi, Sorry everyone is suffering with Fibro, I’ve had it now for 25 years, started after a horrible car accident. My legs ache everyday, makes it hard to walk and I feel like I’m wading through concrete and I feel like I’m a 1000 lbs. I take Lyrica that helps and Doc told me I also have Restless leg syndrome. I sleep with the heating pad under or over my lower legs most every night and I’m finding relief, some relief. If it rains, forget about it. Pain all day. Hope that might help!

Yes, rain, storms, etc...When the barometric presser goes down (storm or storm approaching) I end up with a Fibro-flair that lasts till the barametric pressure returns to 30mHg. As I understand, any fluctuation within 2 points over or under 30 seems to be the Pain trigger for many. I hope this insight helps someone.
I have had restless leg syndrome for 20 years or so, ropinrole helps quite the nerves and makes you sleepy, ask your doctor about it
Does the Lyrica really help?
It sounds like you still have pain while taking it.

Gabapentin for restless leg syndrome helps quiet the pain as well. Ask your doctor if it's possible for you, because it has given me relief
