Hi there I'm not a doctor so cant say that but what I can say and know is that fibro is anything muscle and tissue so its a possibility. I always find that if the pain acts with every movement and doesn't go away then it more than likely to be fibro. I would say though its always best to check with the doctor if your uncertain. x
Hi there
I haven't heard of that symptom being Fibro, but of course I cannot say for sure.
I've had Fibro over 34 years and been on the forum since 2012 and can't recall that coming up.
Sorry, that wasn't much help was it!

Hi nodramas
I am so genuinely sorry to read this and I sincerely hope that you can find the answers that you are looking for. I have not heard of this being Fibro related either but more like arthritis related. However, if your x-rays have come back clear then it probably isn't that? I was wondering if your GP has sent you for any blood tests to measure your ESR levels (Erythrocyte sedimentation rate) or anything else? I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck.
All my hopes and dreams for you

Hi
I have had Fibromyalgia about 20 years . One of my first symptoms was sore knees. This tended to come and go. Ex rays showed nothing untoward. Sometimes there will be a sudden sharp pain which then will disappear. On other occasions It would feel as if a knee was momentarily collapsing. For the past year or so I have permanent soreness in the soft tissue around my knees.
I also have soreness in the soft tissue around my hips, especially the left. I feel it mostly in bed when I lay on in. I have had it for years and ages ago my then GP said it would be a touch of arthritis. An ex ray showed nothing untoward.
I have read of other people with fibromyalgia having knee problems, so perhaps it
may be a symptom.
Hope this information is useful.
PS Chiropractic may help
Look up hypermobility syndrome in case that's what you have. I was wrongly diagnosed with fibro. Very flat feet very painful. I've been rightly diagnosed with hypermobility syndrome
