Do your bones ache with fibromyalgia?
Yes, bone pain and aching is a common experience for many people with fibromyalgia. While fibromyalgia primarily affects muscles, tendons, and soft tissues, the deep aching sensation can feel like it's coming from your bones.
Many MyFibroTeam members describe experiencing:
- Deep, persistent aching in their bones
- Pain that feels like it's radiating from within the bones themselves
- Aching that worsens with weather changes or during flare-ups
- Difficulty distinguishing between bone pain and muscle pain
This type of pain can be particularly frustrating because it's often invisible to others. Even when you're managing your symptoms well on the outside, that deep bone-aching sensation can still be very present.
If your bone pain is new, severe, or different from your usual fibromyalgia symptoms, it's worth discussing with your doctor to rule out other potential causes. But know that you're definitely not alone in experiencing this type of deep, achy pain.
