Oh Yes, that is my worst symptom. All the rest of it I can cope with, but those pains are unannounced and for no apparant reason, so they always get you off guard. Having said that, I also have to add, there is nothing that I have found to deal with it.

I get them as well.....but in my legs....I have had them right below my belly button...but not for several years now...

I guess I get them in my lower right side. I always thought it was my ovary though. Just another symptom. Well at least I know. lol

I get them in my knees and calfs. I get the worst in my abdomin. Thats from adhesions though. Haven't found any relief. TC ~ suzi

Hello rebeccad, I get them as well. Neurontin seems to help me. I also have them in my lower abdomen and what I thought was my right ovary hurting, but it's the fibro. I totally understand.

YA GOT IT RIGHT NOW AND EVERY NITE!!!

Yes, and I hate them. I'm glad you brought this up though because I was wondering if others got this too. I've had them behind my eyes and in several other places. I especially hate the ones in the bottoms of my feet. It feels like I stepped on a needle! Very painful! (as if we don't have enough pain as it is!)

You might want to go to the doctor. I was having sharp stabbing pains in my right side and my liver enzymes were elevated. So I had to be switched to pain meds without tylenol in them. It cant hurt to have them check.

I get them in my chest and head. I have been to the ER several times and told that I am NOT having a heart atack. These pains have gotten worse over the last couple of years, but there is nothing that I have found that helps.The pains are sharp and go away after a couple of seconds, but they keep happening for about 15 to 20 min. This happens almost everyday now. The pains in my head last a little longer and hurt worse than the chest.
Hope this helped

There is a condition associated with Fibro (other than than the sharp stabbing pain of a bad back) that is called "costocondritis!" It is a condition where the muscles between your rib cage and in between your chest plate suddenly contract and when it's in your chest wall you feel like you are having a heart attack! NOT FUN!

Take care,
Stay sane!

WOW! I get the pain where I think my right ovary is on fire as well and a stabbing pain in it!

I also thought that I was having an apendicitis, but it comes and goes in waves during the stabbing cycle and I've heard that an appendecitis is a constant pain!

The last time I got the ovary pain I put a heating pad on it and it worked wonders! Took the edge off!

Take care,
Stay sane!

hi rebecca ,sorry your having trouble with these stabbing pains.ever since ive been diagnosed with fibro,i have had stabbing pains in too many areas to mention.most recently my feet which not only feel as if someone is stabbing them,they also burn like crazy.its incredibly uncomfortable ,and the only thing i find gives me any relief is to take a good pain killer and rest with pillows where the pain occours.rather like a period pain where you lie with pillows or cushion between your legs.sometimes a cooling pack eases it a little.hope you find some thing to help you.take care ,love and hugs.xxxx

I get those stabbing pains too. sometimes in my toe and it shoots up my leg, or in my stomach muscle it makes me jump and takes my breath away. Mad, don't know where they come from or why they are there

Oh yes, me too. Those are the ones that make me make me make all kinds of weird noises! My SO giggles at me (after he makes sure I am ok) because I squeak/squawk/chirp/squeal when I get these.

I get these too, all over my body at different times, legs, arms, in my side, between fingers or toes. It always comes on unannounced and is gone quickly too. The pain is very sharp and severe, so I am thankful it doesn't last long - it always takes me by surprise though.
