Hi, Jenny, and welcome! Yes, all that can happen with fibro. We generally have neck, shoulder, and back pain and it affects both sides of our bodies. Actually it affects all four quandrants of your body. Sometimes my knee will hurt or a foot, or an ankle. It's a crazy illness because you don't know how you will be from day to day. We can have good days and then we can have a flare....very painful days. Fibro waxes and wanes. Many with fibro also have costochondritis. I do. AND many deal with anxiety and depression. I used to but now have that totally under control. That's a BIG help as you well know.
In Fibro 101 there is a link to Symptoms. It's an eye-opener. Also, good starting links for you are called What Else Could It Be and A Thorough Explanation of Fibromyalgia. You just might see yourself there.
The good news is that even though fibro hurts, it doesn't damage your body like say rheumatoid arthritis. Doctors think this is a neurological problem dealing with our nerves and how we intrepret pain. My children would give me a playful swat and it felt like they hit me with a sledge hammer and I really thought I would have a major bruise. Nope! We are very tender and it sounds like you are experiencing this also.
More good news is there are ways of managing your pain. It takes some trial and error because what works for one doesn't necessarily work for another. That's where this forum helps. You can see what people use and talk to your doctor about various things we use. I, for one, don't take the prescription medications that are popular right now for fibro because I found that Ibuprofen with food, extra strength Tylenol, malic acid/magnesium supplements, vitamin D3 supplements help control my pain. I also take an alternative pain product called Curamin. This winter one prescription called Robaxin (it's a muscle relaxer) was prescribed and boy has that made a difference with my back, neck, and shoulder pain. Others on this forum do use the popular prescription meds...some with success and some without success. It's a trial and error process.
Be sure to read Fibro 101...the first thread on the forum. There is a ton of info there and you will learn a lot. There are links about a couple of the supplements I use and how they work in the body. These have helped quite a few members.
Also, as Debbie mentioned, make sure the doctor you see treats fibro patients. Some doctors are still in the Dark Ages when it comes to this illness. Many use a rheumatologist. I use an Internist and a rheumatologist. I always make sure my doctors are board certified, also.
I'm looking forward to getting to know you better. Don't hesitate to ask questions because we are here to help you. Hope to hear more from you soon.
