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 π€π

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 ππ€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 Frenchi88 yes I was have pains in my leg For a long time It was surrspected to be siaticor Then few years later PAD now am being told its fibromyalgia I call it the (shite)
My sister in law said will calm down as she has it I feel I have gotten worse not better not even leveled my thoughts are with you
All I know for me personally that certain area s seem too be more painful alway lower back , shoulder blades, neck and head, ,glad too see you have had some helpful replies, take care x
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.
Yes, many years back mine started in my knees and hips and then shoulders. I think from pushing a trolley around the supermarket and dog agility practice. Then it seemed to spread from there. For me itβs the head and back pain that are the worst. Sometimes I just want to rip out my spine. If that would cure it I would. Now it seems to wander aimlessly around my body. Sometimes worse in my neck or legs, my feet or arms or hands, but always my head and very often my back. You just donβt know what delight youβre going to wake up too. ππ€£π€·ββοΈ
Yes my pain travels and might stay in a new area for days or sometimes for months. Pain in feet, ankles, knees, hips, ribs, elbows and shoulders gives new challenges. Fortunately my new doctor doesn't fob off new pains as fibro but investigates further. My lower back pain turned out to be osteoarthritis and curved spine but tests on headpain are all negative so looks like it's fibro. I didn't know it can cause such debilitating headaches.
Hi there Ye I'm nearly 68 and have the same only I don't have it in the feet, but every where else it's horrendous , I've been following the pain abit on you tube who explain everything and how to lessen and cure the psin.
It's not an overnight fix. But the pain in the head has gone. I just have to work on all the other sensations. It's worth a try what have you got to lose, it's easy but also hard and you will have set backs like myself, but I'm not giving up, I cannot take this condition to the grave with me. I love life but it's ruining it for me.
Hope this helps please let me know how you get on. These people are specialists and have cured themselves and want yo help everyone for free no hidden charges
Hi Yes, my fibro started many, many years ago in my pelvis. 10 years later it moved to my feet. Then back up to my ribs. To my shoulders, and they're back down to my knees. Of late, I have been in a lot of pain in my shoulders, not so bad in my pelvis. But my feet are playing up in the last few days, It seem to move around π
