Travelling Pain 🤔

[Frenchi88]

Hey Fibro ChumsMany many years ago Fibro started in my arms , legs feet and hands. This was for so many years, then it travelled to my Neck, Shoulders and head also for many years.

Then it seemed to be almost constant in my lower back only

Now it seems its on the move again to my arms, shoulders and head (which for me is the worse place to have Fibro)

Does anybody else have Fibro move solely to one area then change to another. I know we are all different but just wanted to see if anyone has it move the same as me ???

Many thanks F 🤗🙏

Yes, unfortunately Fibro pain moves to different parts of the body. Mine started in my neck. My whole body is in pain now.

I did know that it did move but I guess what I didn't realise was that it could stay in an area for such a long time, then shift to elsewhere. I find this upper body pain ie neck,head etc is at it worse ...so I'm dreading this shift ..thanks for your reply 🙏🤗F x

Yes, this is typical of fibromyalgia pain as a result of it being due to Central nervous system hypersensitivity and disordered pain processing. Simply - our brains send out pain signals when there is no cause.

Hi Frenchie88. Yep me too. I started with what they thought was a frozen shoulder. This pain then went across my clavicle to my other shoulder, then down my arms. After months and months of not being to fully dress myself, wash myself etc, i eventually had acupuncture and it cured my upper body pain. Now i have terrible pains in my right knee and leg muscles, and my hips. And this damp weather doesnt help either, my elbows are killing me! This horrid conditon takes no prisoners and you never know where its going to strike next. Take care x

Yes. My worst area is shoulders, down arms, ribs, between shoulder blades.For a long time I did not have lower body pain too much. Now sides of legs, knees and feet hurt sometimes lower back.

I find that sometimes when the upper back areas hurt, the lower body is better, but sometimes its all over.

It can change from day to day or even hour to hour.
