Where is YOUR pain located? - Fibromyalgia Message Board

I keep reading so many things about different places for pain. Is most of your pain in your tender point areas or elsewhere?

Mine is mostly in my hands, thumb/fingers and lower arms, sometimes upper arm also. Feels like nerve pain, not muscular. I can also feel the tender point pain in my buttocks but it doesn't really cause much discomfort.

I also have pain right at the bottom of my sternum, I think at the bottom of my esophagus which radiates through to my back. I also feel what I think are spasms in my esophagus up through my throat. Not overly painful, just worrisome.

But I don't have the shoulder/back/neck pain that most of you talk about. I also don't have any of the fatigue.

Just curious where all of you suffer the most? Thanks for your input!

To be completely honost, I hurt everywhere. The worst of it all though IS in my back, neck, and shoulders. Those places are absolutely HORRIBLE sometimes.

I hurt everywhere. I don't have any one area where i hurt the most and it changes from day to day. One day or week it can be my legs or knees that hurt terribly or it can be my arms or it can be both. My whole body always seems to have a fair amount of soreness to it on all levels. My back hurts horribly but that is due to a failed fusion and hardware displacement :-( Like I said my whole body hurts....

Hi! I hurt everywhere too. Not so much the exact tender points though. Mine radiates so much that it is hard to explain. My hands, fingers, feet, shin bones, forearms, my hip and lower back is soooo bad. Then muscle spams everhwere. Numbness. The works.
Hope this helps

My butt hurts the most. It is from chronic myofascial pain and i get relief with massage (i know) and trigger point injections. I also wear a lift in my right foot which brings my pelvic bones to even.
My tenderpoints hurt on my clavical area during flares, mostly when the weather changes.

I hurt all over when i first get up but then it subsides within a short time.

Right now my shoulders hurt and are swollen, i think this is aggravated by sittting.

I also have patches of burning skin that come and go.

It seems that the air conditioning and stress has made everything worse.
