Hi there

I was hoping that somebody on here would be able to tell me if this does or does not sound like fibromyalgia as im going around in circles and getting no answers 😦 For the past 2 years i have had many symptoms. Ribcage discomfort, constipation, stomach cramps, bloated, nausea, shoulder ache, upper backache, lower backache and headaches. Most recently the headaches seem to now cause eye strain, sinus pain, stiff neck, and sometimes a feeling of prickly warm scalp. My shoulder is sore and it goes down my arm into my elbows and forearms, not sure if its coming from the muscle or the bone, it feels warm at times but i dont see any swelling or redness, sometimes its both elbows/arms and sometimes its just one. I often feel like my legs are aching even just after climbing the stairs. I have had many tests done over the past 2 years and after everything came back clear the doctor diagnosed IBS but that was only with regards to my digestive issues. Im going to speak with him next week about this but was curious if anyone else had been diagnosed with fibro or arthritis off symptoms like mine. Thank you

    Hey Kileen, i know this was posted a while ago. i have been told i have suspected IBS (abd discomfort, varying stools, discomfort behind ribs, gas, belching). now im starting to get backaches, lower, middle, upper, usually left but does move to right too. my neck is sore and my shoulders/collarbone. also my arms ache and my left side goes tingling and numb if i sit a certain way... my hips are sore and my legs are randomly. did you ever figure out if your body aches are from fibro? i read that fibro and ibs can occur together. hope youre doing ok!
