Yes, is the traveling pain!!! Is very common characteristic of fibromyalgia. I had a pain in my left shoulder for over a year multiple cortisone injections about a month ago it disappeared without a trace. I have to say that now the pain is under control but it has taken the rheumatologist at least four years to get to the exact dose of the medicines. Take one day at a time and keep track of where and how long the pain. Take care and gentle hugs.
Don't get me wrong, I have quick come and go pains but like right now it's my back and it's been awful for a little over a month now. My arms and hands lasted a few months.
It's those sharp pains that my best description would be someone with a voodoo doll of me and a needle. Please don't think I really believe in such but it is the best way I know to describe.
Most definitely. However, mine doesn't last for hours. Mine stays much longer. I don't have quick flares. Don't know which is worse.
Mine varies day to day also.I do have a few constant areas of pain .but like you the severity is ever changing
Yes the pain moves around. It is such a relief when a pain area finally relaxes and stops.
