Anyone Get Burning Pain In Their Shoulders ..? Mostly Right Side.

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
County Durham

Suffering with a bad burning type pain in Shoulders, it seems to start in the area where bra strap would sit( if I wore one , but don’t because of tender ribs😕) It’s not there when I first get up.. but seems to start after I’ve sat down with my first coffee .. But that may just be because that’s when I first notice it..🤷‍♀️
It comes and goes.. ie not everyday but it’s been here for a few days but not concurrent ..
I also have Hypothyroidism ( Hashimotos)
