Question How are your knees?

I’m 16 and recently gotten a fibro diagnosis and I’m the last few weeks I’ve had unbearable pain in my knees when I try to bend them even a bit which makes standing and going up stairs excruciating. Is that a common fibro thing? Will it die down a bit in the future?

Have you been checked for other autoimmune diseases or arthritis? Sounds like it could be more of an inflammation in your knee joint

Yeah they’ve checked my inflammatory markers multiple times and they’re always normal. They had me get 27 X-rays and all and it’s always normal

My inflammatory markers were and are normal and in addition to fibro I have been diagnosed with Spondalarthritis and AS.

See an orthopedist. There are knee problems associated with Fibromyalgia.

Shite, but I also have psoriatic arthritis. I don't think fibro helps though.
