I have osteoporosis, fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis in my feet, knees, shoulders. I have head pain; occipital neuralgia in the back up and over the top, auricular neuralgia on the left side of my face from bones sclerosis. It just strikes whenever it wants to. I have been getting injections every three months for this. I injured my knees from a fall, tears in the meniscus. Decided not to go with surgery at this point because the tear is small. I use diclofenac pain cream for that. I also use the diclofenac cream for arthritis. I had Morton’s neuroma in one foot that I did have surgery for. That helped with the pain but not the arthritis in my toes. For lower back pain and neck pain I see a chiropractor.
With so many areas of pain they like to clump everything into one so I believe that’s why they’ve come up with this new term.
