Members overwhelmingly confirmed experiencing shoulder and arm pain as part of their fibromyalgia, with many describing it as a persistent, debilitating symptom that worsens at night and affects daily activities like washing dishes or hair. Several members shared treatments that have provided relief, including trigger point injections, cortisone shots, physical therapy, pain medications like Tramadol, and in some cases surgery for related conditions like frozen shoulder, tendinitis, or nerve compression in the neck. A recurring theme was the unpredictable nature of fibromyalgia pain, with members experiencing varying levels of discomfort throughout the day, numbness and tingling, severe pressure point knots, and the frustrating loss of strength and mobility that once came easily.
