sounds like you've done mostly everything I have! Botox helped me quite a bit, trigger points and even cortisone. I hope you tried a variety of MFR peeps. I use a guy who doesn't take insurance but it is well worth it for the relief he gives. I tried several. Also, my heating pad and I are best friends for 35 years.
I went through a period of getting tendinitis and having connective tissue pain everywhere. Thank god it stopped. Have you tried Bioidentical Hlormone replacement therapy? I went into menopause early. So I was on for 10 years. Off for 10 years and now back on and it helps with a lot of things. Also I figured out I had gout (not my dang doctors!) after 30 years and the Allopurinol was a godsend. My joints moved again! And finally two days ago i asked to be put on medicine for prediabetes. I stopped being able to control my A1C with diet. I was lightheaded and STARVING all the time! I went on Metformin which has no consequences and it was 100% AMAZING even for my overall joints/OA/Gout -- I feel like someone just goosed and greased my movement. My fatigue dropped. Only a couple days but another miracle step for me. I have a couple of neighbors who wouldn't let the doctor remove their thyroid and they overcame their problems with walking (hyperthyroidism but not Hashimoto). I am about to start some strength training because I have lost all of my muscle tone (its scary!) and then you get connective tissue pain because the muscles glue together and tug on the connective tissue. I never say die! Good luck!

Just had my hormones tested and Testosterone was high, Estradiol was normal. We were checking because of the fatigue. My Glucose now every test is reaching around 100 or over. My TENS unit is my friend. I can feel my muscle tone disappearing and even though I do cardio, not enough, it isn't going to help my muscles. We all need strength training and being a senior, I can tell. I vacuum now and it takes 2 days for shoulders and back to stop hurting. I have always been a member of a gym on and off since my 20's and have kept active, but something just interfering now. Connective tissues problems sound like what I have going on. All over. I wore a small, heeled shoe the other night and my ankles hurt the next day, not joints, the tissue around the ankles. Just weird. I do have to step up and do more than 30 minutes a day of active exercise, the fatigue hinders also. I will keep on researching and maybe a blood test one day will show something.
