Quick question

so...i havent yet been diagnosed with fibro, but i am just wondering if any of you guys experience this...if ive been walking about, say walking up the stairs or cleaning...if i get abit hot (not alot) i get like prickling all over my back...like litter hot needles are pricking me. its not what i would call painful just makes me want to itch the area...its so bizarre and i only get it really on my back and if ive been moving around. its like my top has little needles in it and there pricking me. i dont get it every day just on and off. i suffer with anxiety as well as other symptoms, but im just curious to know if anyone else has this and knows what the cause is?

It could be trapped nerves in your back or neck that cause the sensation, I was having same thing in my back and neck and tingling and pins and needles all over my body. I went to a chiropractor privately and after a couple of months this had helped to stop the sensations but can be down to bad posture, which is mostly my issue!

fibro has trigger points. certain areas on your body, when pressed, will feel like a bruise. for instance, if you have fibro, unless you have a therapist that is trained in fibro, a back message will be painful. but I dont think what you are describing is anything from fibro. I would definitely consult a doctor. without knowing age or gender, menopause?

Hi yes i get those symptoms too its very annoying especially when im in bed and am so tired i want to sleep but can't because i get so itchy. I even bought a back scratcher to help me reach places i cant reach so yes im afraid that is one of many symptoms you can get with fibro also fibro fog which is awful i can be having a conversation and lose all train of thought and i also forget what im doing half the time very frustrating.

thanks everyone for your replies...the tender spots, i have them on my upper back, ribs, elbows and my hips...i cant have anyone touch those areas without it feeling very painful, like someone has punched me many times in same spot...been like it years! the trapped nerve thing would make sense as ive had a trapped nerve in my neck and also slipped disc in my back when i was younger (struggle with my back alot) my chest is one of my post painful areas! cant even touch it at all without being in pain...(worse then any other spots on my body) GP tends to put it down go anxiety! but its gradually getting worse. i get brain fog alot also and numbness, tingling, random hot flushes. im 30 so only young. my limbs are slowly getting weaker...not as in i cant use them but folding laundry is now a task. im uk so need to referred by my GP to see specialists. i have many symptoms...more then ive listed! how did you all get diagnosed?
