Any other fibromites get this pain/ache? It's behind both knees, anyone?

    Hello Pam,

    I see this post is a year old but I wanted to say that I get the exact same pain. Right behind my knees. Absolutely terrible. It hasn't gone away in 8 months. Doctors have checked literally everything. It is Fibro!

    Have Fibro and I also get swelling and pain behind my knees. Sometimes it's one or the other or both. They swell and sometimes will burn. I feel nodules but am afraid to massage them. Maybe trigger points? But why the swelling? Has anyone figured out what it could be?

    I get this pain too.. on and off a lot. Yesterday I raked leaves for a very long time.. by the end of it my knee hurt and was swollen on the back right where it bends. I slept awful as it didnt die down and is still bothersome, and even my hand went numb on the same side. That was probably coincidental though. None the less, super nervous this is a bakers cyst or blood clot. I have had fibro for 9 years.

    I have knee pain as well. I have had a trick knee for nearly 20 years so it clicks when I walk and climb stairs. But since I have had fibromyalgia I now get pain behind the knee and on the sides. Should note that there are also lymph nodes in that area that can get inflamed with fibro which can cause some discomfort too.
