Random Sharp Pains

I've been getting them all day, some on my arms- really just all over my body. It's a big burst of pain and then a lingering throb... Is that normal with fibro? Or is it something I should get looked into?

It's so bad I almost want to cry. But I hate crying. lol

It's the worst on my stomach and legs.. and of course my back just has to hurt worse than normal.

I'm kinda scared it may be another blood clot... Cause now it's mostly in my right calf, where I've had two DVT's before.

I don't have fibro but I've had many friends and some family who have and that doesn't sound normal from what I've heard. Fibro is normally a general ache all over. I'm hoping somebody with Fibro will help you out here and post something that can be more helpful. I'm not %100 sure but I think Fibro can cause sharp pains at times but I don't think it's very normal.

This has happened most of my life, but it's gotten more painful as I get older... It's so strange.

The blood clot idea wouldn't be right, I don't think because usually if you have a blood clot the pain is sharp but it's only in one place. Unless you had blood clots all over your body or something. I do know that Fibro is different for everyone and it could def be just part of your fibro. I'm so sorry you're going through this. Stabbing sharp pains are the worst. That's usually the types of pain I have and it's enough to make a grown man cry!

Is the pain in your stomach or diaphram (sp). Also are you getting sharp pains that causes your leg to twitch or arm anything? And lastly do you feel like you're getting those little shocks anywhere in your body?

I've had Firbo for a long time and depending on a lot of things the pans can go through phases like you might feel ok for a while and them get a really bad week or so. Its not uncommon and it happens a lot right before and during your period. Let me know I would like to help if I could.
