Members overwhelmingly confirmed that shoulder pain is a common and often intense symptom of fibromyalgia, with many describing it as radiating up the neck, into the shoulder blades, down the arms, and triggering debilitating migraines. Several members shared their personal experiences managing this pain, including massage therapy, trigger point injections, neck surgeries with plates and screws, and the difficult reality of having to leave physically demanding jobs like hairstyling due to constant aching and limited mobility. A recurring theme was the frustration of living with daily, unrelenting pain that affects every aspect of life, yet finding solidarity in knowing others understand the struggle.

The shoulder blades up to the base of my skull , into my collar bones,into the sides of my neck and down my left arm Which causes terrible Migraines 😢 Ten yrs ago May I had surgery on my neck, now I have a Plate with Six screws to support my heavy head !!!

Yes, the area that you describe is usually where the most intense pain seems to land. I use to have horrible migraines for years that crippled me with pain and made me sensitive to noise and bright light.

Wow! You can still work, you must enjoy your job!

Yes, just posted about this! Does anyone have ‘ clicking’? It’s like bones cracking every time I move my head.
I have been dx about 12 years and this is the worst. Although I also have Sarcoidosis and symptoms are difficult to separate. X
