not sure if you are replying to another thread perhaps. The tender points are more of a legacy thing nowadays and not used in diagnostic criteria any more although some older doctors still use them as well as others for confirmatory / validation purposes I guess.

it’s not completely ruled out and for other purposes it’s helpful and thank you and you

As I said it is not part of any current diagnostic criteria so is only used as an adjunct method and will eventually disappear.
