Hi all,
I haven't posted here in so long! I had a baby about three months ago and have a few questions. My IC has been doing great since about the second trimester. I'm a little nervous though, because last Tuesday I began to have some achiness in my hands and arms. That lasted about two days. That went away and then I began getting a little achiness in my knees. That also lasted two days and then just yesterday I started to get achiness in my shoulders and upper back. I've also had a bit of a stomach ache since yesterday. It's strange though, because I'll only notice it for a few minutes at a time as weird as that may sound. I also have noticed this sour type stomach occasionally in the past two weeks. I could feel it when I would hold my daughter and she would be positioned at the right angle pushing into my stomach. I know this sounds strange :rolleyes: I saw my doctor after the two days of hand and arm achiness and he said it sounded exactly like carpel tunnel which often happens because of hormones. Well, that was Thursday before I began feeling achiness in other parts. It's weird because this achiness is somewhere different concentrated every few days. I'm getting nervous that I'm devoloping fibromyalgia. I plan to call him tomorrow, but in the meantime does any have any words to offer? I've been sleeping in not the best positions for the past month which I assume could cause achiness but not so many parts of my body all of the sudden. How does fibromyalgia usually start to manifest? Could it be anything else? I know no one can diagnose, but I'm really looking for some ideas on just possibilities.....I tried testing the 18 tender points on myself and have found no real point to be really painful..... :confused:
TIA
