I've had facial pain a few times. It felt like a very bad tooth ache! Radiating up the jaw into my head.

I even had pain in my toes. Literally all of them on the same day. I walk every day, so that day was a challenge. I absolutely refuse to give in though! I walked that day, slower than usual, shorter distance than usual, but I did it just the same!

Can fibromyalgia cause facial pain?

Yes, fibromyalgia can cause facial pain. The widespread chronic pain that defines fibromyalgia can affect any part of your body, including your face. The pain may feel like shooting, burning, stabbing, tingling, aching, or throbbing sensations.

Facial pain in fibromyalgia can also be connected to other conditions that commonly occur alongside it, such as:

- Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), which affects the jaw
- Migraine headaches that can radiate to facial areas

Some MyFibroTeam members report experiencing headaches and pain that extends from their neck all the way over to their face. About 27.6 percent of people with fibromyalgia also report experiencing pain in their face and neck areas.

If you're experiencing facial pain, it's worth discussing with your doctor to explore pain management options and rule out any other contributing factors.
