What started of a chest infection I feel not right ever since the 2 lots of antibiotics,x Ray's, lots of phlegm bringing up which I put down to 2 months of quitting smoking) and back pain! Trips to a n e! Bloods came back ok, check for clot on lung ok x Ray's ok.., had referrals to respiritory,neurology only so far bein seen by msk team said he would say fibromyalgia if other referrals were ruled out.

I have burning upper spine pain,either side of spine pain, right shoulder is in pain constant, knee and ankle joint pain. My chest feels like it is BURNiNG in a straight line across abit below my collarbones I feel like my right leg and arm I need to give a good shake but it doesnt do anything to make it feel normal. I really dont know weather it could be sertraline 50mg (antidepressant) what I was first advised to take before all my referrals came about!! what's made all my joints hurt bc it felt like I only had muscle ache before the 5 weeks of taking them arms and legs feel tired weak and in pain, spine pain isnt going I'm not sure what this is feels like burning sometimes slight pounding.

Iv had a breathing test,2 clear chest x Ray's, query IBS for a while I'm not happy with my bowels just feel uncomfortable and all over body pain woke up this moring in pain and I know it wont shake off for any part of today.

Thankyou everybody for your time in reading and replying to my posts.

Ive been on sertraline since before my fibro diagnosis but in my experience you are presenting the symptoms of fibromyalgia very much like I did at the start but hope you get referral to a rheumatologist to be assessed for it! Its a bumpy ride but you're not alone here x

Thankyou I have neurology appointment next month because iv complained of tingling in lower right below knee it's pretty constant, and respiritory appointment month after as I feel burning in chest below shoulder blades, I get pain in back lower ribs, shoulders if I move them about and my right knee

I'm seeing respiritory because I asked to regarding bringing thick stuff up in throat antibiotics haven't taken it away so its something of some sort of problehave you ever experienced rib pain/ burning I thought all my pain was just shoulder then spine at first but then it was joints n ankles but now its lower back ribs shoulders if you moved them and right knee. How did yours start?

Do you have any chest symptoms? Thankyiu so much for your time
