Widespread pain, fatigue, and multiple tender points are among the most common symptoms of fibromyalgia. Tender points are specific places on the body -- including the neck, shoulders, back, hips, and legs -- that hurt when pressure is applied to them. Other possible symptoms of fibromyalgia may include headaches, tingling or numbness in your hands and feet, and depression.

 

People who have fibromyalgia typically see many healthcare providers before the condition is diagnosed. This is because the symptoms of fibromyalgia are very similar to those of other medical conditions and healthcare providers often have to rule out other possible causes before diagnosing the problem as fibromyalgia.
