I frst experienced Upper back pain from may 08 - mid septemberr 08. I am not 100 % why I had the pain. I saw every doctor imagineable (orthopedist, rheumatologist, acupuncturist, physiatrist, myofascial trigger point therapist, massage therapists) Not much helped but it went away towards the end of september) My only symptoms were upper back pain. The muscles were very tight and knotted.I was not fatigued and sleeping was not an issue.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain in your muscles, ligaments and tendons, as well as fatigue and multiple tender points — places on your body where slight pressure causes pain. Fibromyalgia is more common in women than in men. Previously, fibromyalgia was known by other names such as fibrositis, chronic muscle pain syndrome, psychogenic rheumatism and tension myalgias.
I am a 22 year old female and after doing a bit of research it sounds as though I have several symptoms that occur under fibromyalgia. I have had throughout my entire life a bizarre amount of muscle problems and pain. In recent times (last 5-6 months) I have had occasions where my body and skin hurts so much that even my shirt is hurting it. This isn't an everyday, or even every week, event but it has happened probably 5 or 6 time.
Hi,
Fibromyalgia can occur in men and women both though common in women. The usual symptoms are morning stiffness, tender points, fatigue and IBS. Fibromyalgia is a condition in which the person has long term body pain. The goal of treatment in this condition is to improve sleep and pain tolerance. Medicines should always be used along with exercise and behavior therapy. Medications like Duloxetione, pregabalin and Milnacipram have been approved for treating fibromyalgia.
However your symptoms can be due to fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome. These can also be symptoms of complicated migraine.
I would suggest you to consult an experienced neurologist about it as soon as possible. Take care!

One study found 93% with unexplained bone and muscle pain were deficient in vitamin D. Vitamin D council recommend vitamin D levels to be between 50 - 80ng/mL or 125 - 200nmol/L year round.
Excerpt from Sage Medical Laboratory - "Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome":
"Identifying fibromyalgia without a diagnosis of chronic fatigue would mean the patient probably does not have fibromyalgia. Now if it is fibromyalgia, it is a very debilitating disorder.
Hi I am pretty for sure I have Fibromyalgia some of my symptoms include Soar and stiff muscles in my legs and I just have a Flu like feeling all the time and also the pressure points you have. I have those also. Does this sound like Fibromyalgia to you.
It is hereditiary- your mother, aunts,grandmothers may have it ( they may never have been officially diagnosed but will likely have many of the same symptoms you do) Men can also get this but not as commonly- I currently work with 2 men who also have it.
3.It is usually brought on by a stressful event in your life. Don't let the term stressful fool you.
ve always had symptoms of fibromyalgia but never real bad but after I got that Sinus Infection my symptoms of FM became Severe. I also have a family history of Fibromyalgia, my Father, Aunt, and first cousin has it.
My symptoms are so severe that my doctor had to put me off of school ,and on to homebound, where a teacher comes out to my house and brings me work twice a week.
Finally ! I am so happy to see that the Mayo Clinic and American College of Rheumatology lists complementary medicine as other therapies that may benefit fibromyalgia. I know "alternative" medicine (AKA: pre-western medicine) has been a blessing for me. I work not only with my specialist, but also with an alternative medicine practitioner as well and thank God for both of these compassionate, educated men.
The descriptions of fibromyalgia symptoms read to me like a newspaper horoscope: the number of symptoms described can apply to just about any ambulatory human being. The typical medications indicated seem to antidepressants and pain relievers.
Please give us the Clif's Notes version of fibromyalgia and if diagnosed, what are the treatments.
What does this mean? I was diagnosed w/ Fibromyalgia about 5 years ago but most recently am experiencing different pain in my joints. Particularily in my feet, toes and most pain in my ankles and wrists.

A cervical spine problems causes symptoms from the level of the problem down. The symptoms don't travel up so if you have tingling in your face and on your head it is something else. A spine issue can cause headaches though as the muscles can spasm in the neck and cause a headache.
You may want to get tested for Lyme disease. It can cause most of your symptoms.
