I need some advice. I was diagnosed with FM like 6-7 years ago. I frequently felt like I was beat with a bag of nickels when I awoke, and before I fell asleep, for about 30 minutes. I also had a fibro fog during these times, and occasionally insomnia. The rest of the day was pain and symptom free.

Also, CVS makes a cream called FibroCare. It's about 19.00 for a big tube. It's made exclusively for them. It is a big help when you use it on muscles and even has helped some with arthritis pain. It's worth a try!
When I was diagnosed in 1996 It was because i hurt all over and you could not touch my legs without me screaming i could not stand for any one of my daughters to get near my legs they would swell so bad it was awful., It was hard to walk working in shipping and receiving I was constantly on the go. Doctors were puzzled over the years the pain has creep-ed and crawled all over now there are days when i hurt from my toes to my hair I feel like I have been beat up sometimes ,I wake up with bruises and yes I have been to the ER with Deep pain in my Chest stabbing pain sometimes river of Pain . Of course they thought I was having a heart attack, I have pain in my chest in between my breast bone almost all the time now, but you know what it's just pain its all part of the other pain I have to live with, there is no cure there is no answers, I know that tomorrow could be better or it may take longer I do what I can to ease the pain what ever helps to make ME feel better, I hope have you have a support system at home and thank goodness for the wonderful people on this site they have helped me a lot because the medical field is still puzzled by this. I hope you get feeling better Remember they is always sunshine after the rain.
Sounds like Costochondritis........https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/...
alot of people who have fibro have this condition
When ever I do any walking I swell in my hands, feet shoulders and legs that render me helpless for a good while! So, yes I think it is aggravated by any physical activity. When I come from physical therapy, I am in worse pain than when I go in PT!
Oh my goodness!! I was literally just in the ER for this!!!! I kept getting a VERY sharp stabbing plain around where my heart is (at least that's what it felt like) and then it would be sore in between "episodes". Ekg, blood tests, xrays all notmal. Diagnosed with "chest wall pain". I had an appt with my rheumatologist on Monday and she confirmed the chest wall pain and said it's from the fibro.
