I'm having knee pain at rest, even lying down?!
Question: I'm having knee pain at rest, even lying down.?
I'm 45 years old and usually fairly active. I am overweight by about 30 lbs but am losing. I have been less active than usual due to recent minor surgery on my back. I have some osteoarthritis and been diagnosed with fibromyalgia (don't agree with diagnosis). But this pain is at rest, even, as I said, while lying down. It also hurts and is stiff with prolonges sitting. No pain on activity.Health Question & Answer
Answers:
if its only in your knee--you may be right that it is NOT fibromyalgia--
fibro is widespread pain in all 4 quadrants of tehbody-upper, lower, right, left--front, back
fibro doesn't actually affect your muscles--if affects the way the nervous system interprets and responds to the muscles (receiving/sending pain signals)-
strengthening your muscles may help somewhat as they might not be as easily affected--but the underlying condition will not changeHealth Question & Answer

sorry to say but it is your fibromyalgia. i have fibro 18/18 trigger points. i have the same thing as you. You should increase the protein in your diet. it helps with fibro. protein helps to restore your muscles which fibro is affecting. Health Question & Answer
