Back on June 15th I was diagnosed with multiple blood clots in my upper and lower right lung which has it's own pain, but now I'm having a problem telling a difference between my pain from the clots and my fibromyalgia because the clots cause pain in my arms and legs and chest, does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do or try to tell the difference????

I don't know, but if you have pain that is like the blood clot pain, you should get medical attention. Blood clots can be deadly. I'm not sure how you will know fibro pain, but I would hope that pain would be different from your blood clot pain. Good luck. Be careful.

Lizzie8971 - My docs told me whenever I'm in doubt to get it checked out and let them decide. Especially if the pains are new! You are not alone, sometimes the doctor's cannot even tell which pain is which without tests to rule out one or the other. I hope you are doing okay today! Gentle Hugs!

that is scarey- I have gerd, you know it is miserable. I've been checked out because of panic attacks, you keep wondering are they missing something.

I jad a 2 heart attacks and thought it was fibromyalgia pain. I have the same problem. Discussed it with pcp and heart doc. They helped a little.
