Yes, fibromyalgia can absolutely cause neck pain. The neck has specific muscles that are known to be affected, including tender points in areas that support head movement and turning. Two key muscle areas in the neck commonly affected are:

- The sternocleidomastoid — a muscle on the side of the neck that helps you turn your head or look down
- The suboccipital muscles — located at the base of the skull, supporting fine-tuned head movements

The pain doesn't always stay in the neck either. As one MyFibroTeam member described, "My neck all the way over to my face hurts."

If neck pain is affecting your quality of life, it's worth speaking with your doctor or rheumatologist about pain management options that may help.
