My joint n muscle pain is moving to a different part of my body.
But this isn't the normal. Pain with fibro. I can't hardly move my arm.

So it's gone from my left hip to right to right arm. So odd

Members validated the experience of pain moving throughout the body as a common feature of fibromyalgia, with many sharing that their worst pain shifts almost daily between different areas like hips, arms, shoulders, and back. Several members recommended seeing a doctor to rule out other causes like pinched nerves or muscle tears, and suggested practical relief strategies including massage therapy, physical therapy, chiropractic care with ultrasound, electro-acupuncture, and using a tennis ball against a wall to release deep muscle knots. A recurring theme was the unpredictable nature of fibromyalgia, the importance of keeping medical teams informed about new symptoms, and taking each day as it comes with patience and self-compassion.

@A MyFibroTeam Member, I couldn't agree with you more. I have pain all over but the worst pain changes almost daily. It is a part of fibro to have it move around it's something we just have to deal with.

Fibro by definition moves all around the body. I too have knots in my arms, shoulders and back. My massage therapist tries to get the muscles to relax but is only partially successful. As a precaution you should ask the doctor about it though. You never know when something tears and needs repair. Hopefully you will just need time or a few visits to physical therapy. You might try a massage to see if they can get the knots to relax.

Unfortunately I don't think anyone has the answer not even the doctors as they are finding more things about Fibromyalgia on a regular basis and that everyone experiences are unique even if similar no two people will describe the pain in the same way. But it is also always a good idea to keep your doctor updated on everything you experience as it could be linked to something not Fibromyalgia related. Always better to be safe than sorry. Sending gentle hugs your way x

You maybe having spasms which could be making some muscles inflamed and possiblely causing nerve issues. I had it in the beginning and they were saying I had thoracic outlet syndrome. It was just the fibromyalgia

My neck and back are tight. My chiropractor does ultrasound and soft tissues massage. She also said if u have a tight bavk u can use a small rubber ball like a tennis ball. Back up to a wall it gets to the deeper areas of pains. I have tried few times
