There are 18 tenderpoints on your body. Mostly on the back. If you google fibromyalgia on the web, they usually show the tenderpoints. They don't go away, but don't always hurt when touched. I guess you should have 11 out of the 18 to be diagnosed. I didn't have that many, but still got a diagnosis. When I first got fibromyalgia, I called the arthritis foundation and they sent me information with a picture of where the tenderpoints were. You might want to try that. I sure do hope that you feel better soon. Have a happy and painfree day.
