Can’t even get some clothes on without my husband helping. I’m not use to needing help like this.
Anyway they want 2 visits a week but problem is I can’t afford to go. So yeah.
I see Orthopedic Dr for consult tomorrow altho I don’t know what good it will do if I can’t afford to get any help.
This is just another painful problem on top of all my other pain problems just has me losing my shyt today.

I'm sorry you are having a hard time.  I hope you can get some help for your pain. An orthopedic physical therapist was able to help me with horrible SI (sacroiliac) pain in around 3 weeks, and that was when I was pregnant, so she couldn't use the first options on me. The pain was so bad, I was crying getting out of bed or into or out of the car. But I understand the money issues. It's hard to find anyone willing to do things on a sliding scale or low cost option. I'm lucky here. Even if my insurance won't cover it, we live close to a chiropractic training college, and they will do chiropractic manipulations & massage at low cost. Of course, the trade-off is you have chiropractic students doing the maneuvers on you, but it seems most people who use it do not have problems.
On top of fibro pain, I am sure it doesn't help your mood. I really hope you can find something that helps
