Hi Viv,

My pains are also on both sides, but usually my left side is the worst. But that's not to say that some days my right side suffers more!

As Christine says, I don't think there is a norm for FM, and I just take each day as it comes.

Hugs,

Carolanne. xx

Hi Vivien,

My pain is definitely worse on my left side, from shoulder to foot, although I also have constant pain in my shoulders and neck.

Hugs of the gentle kind, Carol xx

Thank you Diddle, some days I think I am lucky only a small amount

of pain but that does not last come the evening and it is every where

today I have it mainly in my left side but it is all over just worse on the

left

strange thing some times you think OK I have pain but I dont feel to

ill, and then another day you have pain and feel ill as well, its very

strange cant get my head round it realy, it matters not whatever

diet you try, or whatever treatment you try, its still there does not

go, we must be a realy pain to live with I dont always tell my husband

anymore as I always seem to be going on about pain and whats

the point of worrying him, and as for other people they dont believe

you do they as mainly you look well but tired,

So this is just so great that we can all talk to each other

thank you

Love Viv

Actually no, it's not a normal part of Fibro. Many people with Fibro do have predictable regional pain, but you would expect this to be from something going on alongside the Fibro, such as myofascial pain. Pain from the central processing issues of Fibro is more random and unpredictable.

If your left side is always worst, I would get assessed by physiotherapy to check for postural imbalances and myofascial restrictions.
