Yes it is a symptom. I get sharp shooting pains all over my body. They seem to come out of nowhere. Sometimes they are lije pins and needles, other times they are sharp. Sorry for the bad news. Fibro has so many weird symptoms that you will probably always find a new one. I have had it 30 years and still have different pains and other symptoms that i did not know were fibro. Welcome to the wonderful world of fibro. Hugs
It could be the Trigger Points being aggravated! You have BI-lateral knots on your soft tissue... that is the fifinative test of Fibro.. being Bilateral. The practitioner rubbed the knot.. I about flew off her exam Table!!! Oh... she knew my Dx. Quickly!!
You're welcome @A MyFibroTeam Member. What u said about being able to compare symptoms is so true. With the symptoms of fibro being so wide spread. And so systemic. You just never know how many things in our body it affects. Its brutal. Voodoo doll time most days. Happy Holidays dear. Gentle hugs.
I call them nails instead of pins because the pains are so bad.
@A MyFibroTeam Member I'm sorry you're suffering. Yes unfortunately, sharp,roving pain is one of fibro's many, many, symptoms. They r excutiating. I get them in random places and they are miserable. They can hit you anywhere any time. And it is just like you're a voodoo doll.
Maybe this will bring a little smile to your face. It's very sad but true. But, I have to get a laugh once in a while in an otherwise dark, chronic pain, world of fibro, or I'd go crazy. Gentle fibro hugs. Happy Holidays.
