I have been in increasing pain since particularly thumb.  Is this compatible with fibromyalgia flare, if so how is it best diagnosed & TREATED?

    I'm afraid we are not medical Professionals so we won't be able to give you any medical advice.

    As a fibro sufferer myself, getting a diagnosis, isn't as easy as you may think it is. They will need to rule out other things first and many tests need to be done. It took me many years to be diagnosed.

    If you have any concerns about your health condition you will need to speak to your GP.

    Hello @whinger

    Welcome to the community! :) I am sorry to hear your pain is getting worse.

    As Poppy said, we don't give medical advice on the forum and suggest you consult your GP. If you are finding it hard to get an appointment, it may also be worth talking to your pharmacist.
