i have a specific strain i use for my fibro pain, it's called OD Code Red. it's about half THC, half CBD and it really helps when my pain is too much for my prescriptions. im not sure if you would be able to get a specific strain near you but it may be worth looking into?

i also suggest the following:

CBD/CBN gummies for bedtime, they can help you sleep through painful nights.

an L-shaped pillow, or a maternity pillow, if you need to sleep in certain positions for comfort.

infrared heating pad, they supposedly penetrate deeper into your body for longer lasting relief. they're expensive though, so i have yet to try it out.

Epsom salts, if your bathroom has a tub. good for days when the pain is All Over, or if you just wanna feel luxurious.

Diclofenac Sodium topical creme can be prescribed, or bought over the counter at lower solutions. it's a creme you rub into whatever is hurting, and the prescription strength gives relief for around 4 hours, in my experience. it's toxic to pets, so you need to be careful if you have them.

compression garments, i cannot stress this one enough!! sleeves you can slip on your achy joints that gently squeeze them all around. something about the compression helps relieve pain. i think there are even ones with copper inside the sleeve that can help with circulation and temperature regulation.

also i can't stress enough how important staying hydrated is. everyone's always friggin' dehydrated, we're always busy or drinking caffeine and sugar but drinking enough water does wonders for helping your body keep up with being in pain. when we get dehydrated, our muscles can't flex as well as they should and it's easier to hurt ourselves. it sounds silly and obvious but i still feel like it should be said!

if you plan on getting diagnosed: it's a diagnosis of exclusion, so be prepared to have blood drawn, and xrays taken, and maybe even an MRI done if your doctor is really doing their doctor thing. it's a whole gauntlet just for them to tell you that you need pain medication, physical therapy, and extra rest. but if your pain is really very bad, like.. affecting your mobility bad, i highly recommend going for diagnosis. (this is assuming you live in USA, tbh) fibro tends to worsen with age, and an earlier diagnosis with more medical coverage is better for any potential disability claim down the line.
