Q: I have sharp pain " burning shard of glass"- much like severe tendonitis-the area size of a thumb print- next to my knee cap in both knees and in my elbows. I have been checked for arthritis-
Hi Rebecca,
I am not a doctor or a health care professional. I am just a patient, like you. What you are describing sounds a lot like Fibromyalgia to me. I have Fibro, as do many others on this site. Before I started taking medication, I would have burning pains in my feet that hurt all the time. Did not make a difference whether I was standing or sitting. It was really affecting my quality of life. I was referred to a rheumatologist who prescribed medication. I also take Tramdol for pain three times a day. I have OA and EOA, too, so somtimes it is hard to distinguish between the three types of pain. The fibro does make me feel as though I have been beaten up sometimes. Hope this helps. Sorry you are in so much pain. Don't give up. Keep searching for an answer. A rheumatologist may be able to help you.
Peace,
V
