growing pains

as a child I always had what gps then refered to as growing pains, my legs were always painful I also had voilent headaches and sore throat, I wonder if Ive had fibro longer than is thought

It is possible. Children do get Fibro and it is often extremely hard to get a diagnosis for a child as there is a hope that they will "just grow out of it".

Hi, me to i was alway at my doc with a sore bit here and there. also my back started to cramp up around the age of 10ish, i remember once i got stuck lying on my bed and my older brother had to help me up. my back just locked up and has not ever stopped doing it since. and nothing has made any diff and never have found out what cause the pain and stiffness. so yeah there might be something to it.

love ellie

I used to have a really painful back as a child , occasionally I'd wake up unable to move with a kind of temp paralysis in my legs .

I was really uncoordinated too and hopeless at sports , no change there , still am.

Yes the same many aches and pains as a youngster and told growing pains referred to the hospital and could not find anything
