Horrible leg pain with fibromyalgia

A few month ago I purchased a vibration plate. Oddly enough it has helped not only with my leg pain but with the restless legs too. I have pain in the muscle of the calves and right down the bone. Its still there but more bearable.

OMG @keynos66 - me too!
My fibro leg/foot nerve pain increased tremendously following chemo radiation completed in June 2025.
For radiation bone loss, I recently invested in a vibration therapeutic vt007 to undo radiation bone damage. I found info on Mayo Clinic osteoporosis chat.

I immediately noticed a temporary reduction in leg/foot nerve pain after my first use. I was still having difficulty sleeping at night because pain relief was temporary. I subsequently discovered that 15 minutes b4 bed daily really helped my PM leg/foot pain symptoms, as well as sleep quantity and quality. I now use vt007 twice daily at 30-35herz . I am very pleased with pain management results. I will see osteoporosis impact in a year based on dexa results.

BTW-I also noticed a temporary decrease in pain following a full body MRI in late 2024 (magnetic pulsing-go figure). I recall potential fibro clinical trial in 2019 that seemed to have been canceled during Covid.

I previously used a life pro wbv for daily exercise because it felt good during exercise. It did more shaking (like an internal body massage) but did not improve fibromyalgia/rls/chemo leg foot pain. Do lots of research if you choose to try wbv. My sister paid over $3,000 for a maradyne unit for osteoporosis. It didn’t help my leg/foot issues so I was pleasantly surprised by the vt007.

What type of plate worked for you @keynos66?

Good luck to all in your pain management endeavors!

@chrisj1

Instead of Ambien and clonazepam , you could try Ashwaghanda in am and melatonin and magnesium glycenate at night. You should talk to your doctor about it. Drink fresh green juice. Eat meal with plenty of fresh vegetable daily. This is not easy at all

Are they caused by leg cramps?

I feel your pain! The upper leg/thigh on the sides is worst for me than any other part of the body. What works for me first I do heating pad. If that’s not enough use Biofreeze or Lidocaine patches. Third I go to Ibuprofen if necessary. Of course ibuprofen should not be used too frequently. Also I’m seeing a chiropractor. I got off the Cymbalta and the depression got better! More energy too. Also I just recently started Low dose naltrexone. Its suppose to take up to 6 months to help. Fear of moving makes for more depression for me because if I stand for too long or walk too much (like go to supermarket) it flares up. So I try to take rests in between when I’m cooking, etc. For me chiropractor has really helped. There are many that know/specialize in fibromyalgia. If it helps any, the fibromyalgia has gotten better than when I first got it as time goes on. Peace and love to you.

The LDN will hopefully work for you with time!

Yes! It is miserable, isnt it? Do you go to pain mgmt? Inused to teceive lifocaine injections but have switched to patches of lidocaine ITC which I cut into strips for my legs. Checkbw dr andvsee if you can use can be longer somlong as doesnt hurt skin. Helps sometimes alot!

Sorry—lidocaine injections. Switched to lidocaine patches which helped longer and consistently. Have used the varied strengths of electric shock but i like the lidocaine much more.
