Hi, I'm new here so probably will ask lots of questions. As some of you I've been seeing different specialists since 2016 and so far have been diagnosed with nothing :-( there is no most test that could be done one as I've had almost all scans
If you have fibromyalgia is it common that the pain is very simetrical? Can fibro pain be present between shoulder blades and reading to armpits and a rib cage? This the kind of pain I've been experiencing since 2016. The pain csn last you to few weeks… read more

Yes, that's exactly what it feels like when something touches me. It's worse on my uppers arms and my thighs, I wears soft materials when I can and people in my left know not to touch me.

Yes, my armpits are super tender (connected to your pectorals muscles usually) and I have a big lump in each armpit where my muscles have tightened so much and just won't release for years. It all sucks. Fibro makes you feel like you have other serious health issues and by serious I mean fatal, but doctor's are supposed to rule out all health problems throughout testing that would make sense and then can make the diagnosis of fibro. I have had cardiac testing, ms testing, scans, X-rays, spinal taps, bloodwork, vitamin checks, you name it and everything came back fine which concluded the diagnosis and firmly placed fibro on me years ago. I hope you can get all the testing and ruling out done so your doctor can treat you correctly. Gentle Hugs

Hi welcome.
yes my body feels very tender on some days and the pain for me is mostly in my legs and arms but i have found by speaking and seeing different articles that people who have fobro are all different.
You need to find your way of coping.
Also some days i can concur the world and some days i am so bad i have to stay in bed.
Take each day ata time and stay strong x
