Yes! Yes! Yes! I get that all of the time and yes, worry sometimes about it being something else, but after years of tests, doctors and all that jazz, realized it is from my muscles and nerves.

Right, Mayo’s three week pain clinic told us I’m s lecture “do not blame everything on fibro “. Get things checked out
Yes I have often felt that way. Don't take it for granted that it is fibro. Listen to your body. Years ago went to emergency room but was not my heart. I'm sure other people feel this way too. I don't understand all the pain we get from fibro either. Gentle hugs
Anna... look up Costochronditis(sp) many of us have this. But.. not everything is Fibro related! You really should see your Dr so you know for sure! I hope you get some relief soon. Sending you hugs🦋🌸🦋🌸🦋, Deb
I also quite often have back rib pain and only laying down will give me some relief!! And yes I also worry, like everyone else I’m sure, that my pain is being caused by something else! When it’s really bad, I think it isn’t possible that one illness can cause so much pain in so many places!!!
