I have small lumps on all my extremities, underneath the skin. Not visible, but palpable. A Physical Therapist told me she feels these almost always in Fibro pts.

Mine are getting worse. Especially in my right leg. I press down really hard sometimes because they are painful!

Myofascial trigger points, also known as trigger points, are described as hyperirritable spots in the fascia surrounding skeletal muscle. They are associated with palpable nodules in taut bands of muscle fibers. ... Compression of a trigger point may elicit local tenderness, referred pain, or local twitch response.
