Every evening about 6 PM, my entire body has such deep spreading pain. As soon as I sit down to relax, the pain radiates through my wrists, arms, elbows, shoulders, legs, and back. I nearly groan out loud with the pain and become terribly exhausted. Lying down makes it worse. Sometimes, between spasms, I fall asleep for a minute of less while watching TV in a recliner, and that helps relax my body for about 15 minutes. I am on 1 mg ropinirole HCL at dinner time which helps. When I go without, the pain keeps me awake until 3 AM or later. Pain meds do not help. Walking around does not help. One of my doctors said the pain is from a variation of restless leg syndrome. Since it responds to ropinirole, that makes sense. Your opinion will be appreciated. Thank you.
Hi, The location and movement of a pain give clues as to what is going on. And if it is all over, then it is not due to a particular joint, muscle, disk, or nerve problem. Overall problems such as electrolytes, hormones, inflammation might do it. Psychological causes are easily 10-fold more commonly associated with it. Indeed, an otherwise second-rate anti-depressant Cymbal ta became quite popular due to its side effects that also work on pain. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
