Members responded to a question about random shoulder pains, with the overwhelming consensus being that these unpredictable pains are a common symptom of fibromyalgia, and reassuring the original poster that it's nothing to worry about. Several members shared practical strategies that have helped them, including taking magnesium supplements for shoulder pain, practicing gentle wall-climbing exercises to regain mobility after injury, switching to more supportive bras or going braless, and using self-talk to manage the pain by acknowledging it as fibro and choosing to move forward. A recurring theme was the diverse and sometimes surprising locations where fibromyalgia pain can appear, from shoulders to ears, and the importance of experimenting with different approaches to find what brings relief.
