Lioness, I'm REALLY suffering with Fibromyalgia pain which opioids only relieve temporarily and not completely per the low dose I stick to. Your post mentioned MAGNESIUM---Does it help the soreness or burning sensation? Or did you mention it helping a different condition entirely ?

Before starting on Fibro Malic ,which has Mag.,Men and other hebal,s I had shooting,burning pains in my arms,hands also thighs and YES this is gone now.I take about 1200mg a day ,had blood work done and was within the limits so Dr. good me to stick with what I'm doing Vitacost,online has the Fibro Malic ,Amazon also.I still get flare up,s but they are fewer then before.As I said I use not showers,aerobic exercise ,ice ,when I feel it's swollen,ice helps with inflammation also Good luck this is a trial @error disease

LOTS OF NEWS TO ME !!!---What blood work? Testing for what in the blood? Please explain. Thanks. Jeanne

I wanted to make sure I wasn't taking to much Magnesium as to much can cause problems .Magnesium as with calcium are needed in the body to function Research shows Fibro people need more Magnesium.But the ant I am taking is still within the guide lines. I also have been able to reduce my Tramadol,like to 1@nighttime .I also have a fractured back in 2005, but will always have some kind of discomfort now from it .When this happened the Dr.had me on 3a day

dear lioness and all: magnesium.... last night i again woke up with terrible pain as my left leg was contorted into an extremely painful cramp. After standing up it took about 15 minutes of much pain to get the leg normal again. Today i went to the orthopedic md and got a shot in the left leg knee which was hurting from arthritis for about a month. And now thank you i will be using magnesium which hopefully will help with the cramps. (Not to take to much). thank you. peach barbara

So sorry f or the cramp they are painful The magnesium will help also take calcium and Vi t D along with it at nighttime for a good night sleep.Let me know how it helps you.Linda
