Yes, very common for some fibro sufferers. I take paracetamol and find exercise helps although it hurts.

If Lyrica and Gabapentin don’t work. I am on a combination dose between the two. They offset each other in terms of side effects. I like Gabapentin, because it helps with bibpolar like symptoms and pain. Lyrica helps with pain, but makes me real tires. Hence I take both at low doses. Lyrica at night and lunch so it does not affect me while drivihg. I try Magnesium Citrate. Its a powder you put in a drink. If all else fails, then bed rest.

Honestly I have to use meds no matter what. It got unbearable, and I had to work to support my self and my insane medical expenses each year.

Bed rest is essential.

Usually if I have burning it's being aggravated by an irritated nerve in my spine, I put Salonpas patches on either side of my spine in the area that would branch out into the area that is burning.
