Members overwhelmingly confirmed experiencing trigger points and muscle knots throughout their bodies beyond the classic fibromyalgia tender points, with common trouble spots including forearms, shoulders, back, neck, feet, hands, and abdominal muscles. Several members described how these knots worsen during flares, can be triggered by overexertion or even light touch, and cause persistent pain that disrupts sleep and daily movement. A recurring theme was the unpredictable and widespread nature of fibromyalgia pain, with some members noting that even water from a shower or touch to the scalp can be unbearable.
