Hi, Achey, and welcome! I don't think we've met. I've been dealing with Medicare and that has kept me very busy. 
Never worry about long posts. We have so much we are dealing with when it come to fibro that it takes long posts to explain it. Besides, I think I'm the Queen of Long Posts on the forum. 
Have you ever had a gentle massage? I see a neuromuscular massage therapist that has been trained in massaging people with fibro and myofacial pain syndrome. It really has helped me. Also, I bought a book called The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook and it has helped me greatly. I bought it off Amazon. You see, we have trigger points all over our bodies and finding them and massaging them helps relax the muscles they affect. For example, I woke up with terrible side pain. Nothing I did helped and it was difficult to breath. I got out my book, looked up side pain, and saw that the trigger points for that area were found along my spine! We have a lot of referred pain. I got out a tennis ball and used that against a wall to "massage" that area. I started feeling better and was able to go back to bed, get comfortable, and back to sleep. When I woke up in the morning, I had no side pain.
I have used this book to heal myself of a frozen shoulder, too. I gives you diagrams and shows you exactly where to look for the trigger points that are affecting your pain. For the frozen shoulder, they were in a couple places in my shoulder, in my chest wall, and in my neck! My shoulder is all better now and I can even swim the back stroke now.
You can massage your neck. I bet if you feel at the base of your skull, you will feel a knot on each side of your spinal column. This is how my neck was. Soooo tight. I pressed on the knots as hard as I could stand it and then massaged. I repeated this and the knots started getting smaller. I did this several times a day and also massaged the neck and my scalp. Yes, those muscles get very tight, too. This might help you some. I no longer have those knots. Trigger points, again. I learned this from my massage therapist.
I hope you have had an opportunity to read Fibro 101...the first thread on the forum. If not, you might want to do that. There is a wealth of info in that thread and you will learn a lot there.
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.
