Hi! I get both of these quite regularly with my fibro! I refer to the hot water as burning patches, I have even had people tell me that the site of the pain is physically hot as well as me just feeling it 😅 I also get really bad aching pains in my arms/hands and legs/feet. For the burning patches sometimes cooling the area down will an ice pack can help but sometimes any contact is too painful so be careful. I have heard that cooling sprays can be effective! Haven't tried it myself, but one of my friends uses one! As for the achy feeling I've never really found something that helps unfortunately, but I do think this is triggered by the cold weather, its always worse then. I hope you find a way to manage both of them!

My pain is a little different, though it's changed over the years periodically, but also always has been on my right side.

Just reading think made me think about this and my pain and a majority of it is affecting the right side as well. It starts in the lower back, hits the hip and the right thigh with a burning sensation -!: then pain in the knees. Yes it is both knees. I thought living in Florida the weather would help the conditions but doesn’t seem to help. I have no pain medicine to take to ease the pain when it’s too intense to deal with. I have Celecoxib to take twice a day, Orphenadrine at bedtime, and low dose naltrexone…..

Yes, it does sound like fibromyalgia. It presents so differently in each person, but pain and neuropathy are extremely common.
