Because, for the most part, I wouldn't. Only in my neck and when I feel like I have what I call a pinched nerve somewhere, but that's not often.

My pain varies. It is sometimes a burning pain, shooting/stabbing pain, or achy. It always seems to be different.

But again, it is still a very misunderstood illness and everyone is going to have different experiences.

I experience pain of different sorts. I do get a lot of burning but I when I am really bad I also get the feeling that my blood has crystalized in my veins and is cutting me from the inside out. My tender spots, you touch them I hit you. I cannot poke under my sides where my ribs are, the tops of my shoulders the insides of my elbows, the tops of my knees.....blah blah blah.....it is God awful isn't it?

Yes, very much a dull deep ache. But my skin used to burn. And it's super sensitive to everything.
