Flares

Is it possible to have a flare in just one muscle group? I'm sore today from a crazy week, but my hip abductor muscles are killing me. They feel like my entire body does when I'm having a flare, but I've never had just one muscle hurt like this.

Everyone experiences fibro in different ways. My experience is...if I am having a lot of pain in one place that does not go away soon, it may lead to a generalized all over flare. However, it is possible to have just one area that is screaming out in pain at a time.

Since the 1980's, I have had an unrelenting headache that has never gone away. But I wake up every day waiting to see which other body parts are going to join in.

Idk if you are looking for advise, but I would try and treat the specific area hurting.

Hope you feel better soon.

Yes, I believe so. Although most of my body has aches and pains continuously, I get flares especially in my neck, back and legs. I usually end up taking a muscle relaxer on top of the Cymbalta and Aleve, practice my yoga, and it helps.
