hi, not sure where to start . i suffer anxiety and im currently taking 25mg of amitripyline for pain and lack of sleep. since last thursday ive woke up with a bruised like tender feeling on my left side by my ribs and spine. its now come aroubd the front under my breasts and feels so sore. Also i have tight gripping pains inbetween my shoulder blades and i just get worked up thinking its something so serious. the doctor gave me strong pain killers today codrydramol to see how i get on. ive been suffering all different pains for years now mostly chest and upper body related and im so fed up i just want to feel normal.

    Hi Louise

    I am a suspected fibro case currently haven't been diagnosed officially yet, but I have Allodynia, which is a classic hallmark of Fibro.

    I find that sometimes the side I have been sleeping on muscle & shoulders used to get sore. This has got better for me since been in the process of losing weight and strengthening my muscles.

    My take on this is if muscle are say squishy, then they can collapse more easy & not supportive, than if strong toned, hence less pain.

    Fibro is a very complicated syndrome, which many other symptoms also come out.
