Hi, Jackie. Welcome! We are here to help you, and I'm sure many people will want to chime in. What you describe sounds like it very well could be Fibromyalgia. But it's good that you're going to check it all out with a doctor.
I really noticed feeling progresively worse with each of my 3 pregnancies, and after I had an epidural and C-section with my last, I had horrible pain right in the middle of my back where they gave me the epidural...for about 2 years! Docs kept telling me it couldn't cause this pain, but it seemed pretty obvious to me.
I can't be poked anywhere either. (I hurt just reading all the places you mentioned!)
We have a link, 1st one on the list, "Fibro 101." It's very good reading, has a lot of interesting and informative information. It would probably give you a better idea of whether or not you might have Fibro.
Keep us posted, we do care!
