Members shared their experiences with sharp, stabbing pains associated with fibromyalgia, describing sensations ranging from knife-like pain with movable knots that cause nausea, to electric-shock-like jolts that jump around different body parts, to chest tightness lasting minutes to hours. Several members found some relief through medications like muscle relaxers, Lyrica, and gabapentin, though many expressed frustration with doctors who dismiss their pain or fail to provide helpful treatment options. A recurring theme was the emotional toll of living with unpredictable, severe pain that disrupts sleep and daily life, along with anger toward medical providers who do not take their suffering seriously.

Yes, I call the stabbing pain satans pitch fork. That was my first crazy sign something was wrong. Life was normal but one night I had stabbing pain jumping around different locations of my body. It was awful. That started me down the road of decline and diagnosis.

Im talkin about knife stabbing pains
On top of knots that you can move and feel like they pop. The pain makes u nauseous. On top of every bone in ur body hurting. I went to a new family practice that tells you calm down after sitting in office.for.three.and a.half hours only to betold I'll send you to pain clinic. I told him wrong, already called pain clinicS, they say they cant help. Then he says I'll send u to.rheumatologist. I am a very strong person. But right now I am so frustrated. Im about ready to tell all drs to f.off.
