My fibro pain is more like achy what is yours like?

Hi Amy, yes I agree with you, I'm still not sure about my diagnosis, I get more nagging pains and stiffness in my shoulders and legs, my hips ache, but I have noticed that my fingers are starting to get a bit stiff and sore. I have been for all sorts of blood tests and nothing showed up. I think that fibromyalgia affects each of us differently, which is why it's sometimes difficult to accept. How long have you had these problems?

Yes sometimes it feels like I have dead leg or arm. Aches are common but sometimes I get the stabbing pains particularly in feet and my rather ample rear end!    It takes time to come to terms with the diagnosis and I went through relief, disbelief, constant questioning through to final acceptance.  Bit like a bereavement - but then I decided I was still the same person as I was the day before diagnosis except now I had a label.  I am not a fibro sufferer I am Maggers who happens to have fibro. Be kind to yourself, take a day at a time and learn the most important word for us the word "no".

mine is a mixture of pain achyness stiffness, legs arms feel like a ton weight at times.its the pain in my legs that I strugle with as that is constant.

I use to play squosh all the time and walked every week end for miles its very hard when you can no longer do that take care 

My left side is definitely the worse but I get a varied range of pains from burning sensation like indigestion but in other areas to aches that feel like my limbs are magnets and someone's holding a more powerful magnet and pulling them. I also get the lactic acid type burn like during exercise and sometimes bruised feeling and I also get the odd cutting sharp pains and grating like bones are rubbing on tissue. Not to mention tingling numbers etc. it sort of moves around depending on the day and sometimes certain areas won't hurt for ages but I'll get a new place. I get facial pain, neck and shoulder pain, rib pain, leg pain, hip pain, feet pain. I don't suffer with the depression side of things however every so often the pain and the relentlessness of the situation will make me break down for a day or 2.

I also suffer with fatigue, muddy head, heart palps, sensory things, ear fullness with no visual ear problems.

I always wonder if it's a circulation thing as its left sided and I also have raynauds.

Hi Amy my pain is like toothache and in some places like sunburn I don't have stabbing pains but it's in my neck,shoulders, arms down the back of my legs from my hip in my hands elbows some time my face and it is in my left eye but my right side is the worse especially my knee n it's just started in my ankle at times but looking on the bright side my ears are fine apart from a little ringing every now n then ha ha, you have to laugh other wise you would never stop crying 😊

Hi Amy. i can relate to the achy tired feeling in arms and legs too, worse in legs and for some reason on laying down too. Im also experiencing and this is going to sound so daft this awfull feeling of severe rheumatic  and i know ive spelt this wrong pain that seems to go into my legs when im in a car as a passenger, and travels up my body and makes me feel unwell with it too like im sentive to so magnetic or electrical force is the only way i can describe it, this happens after only about 15 minutes too, anyone else experience anything like this.
