[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for the answers and additional questions.

No fever, redness or rash, this is a tissue thing, so if I poke my side, all the way from the armpit to the waist there is tenderness.

No new meds, activities, no change with deep breathing.

Its also not constant, just on occasion.

I am wondering if it's the start of fibromyalgia and I am dreading that possibility. [/quote]

I have chronic nerve pain and when I poke my arm or torso I feel pain. [/quote]

Do you know the cause of the chronic nerve pain? This is OP I have several (benign) brain tumors but so far they have mostly only affected my vision.[/quote]

I think it's a decade of severe stress (suicidal kid, etc) and my nervous system feels constantly under attack.  I am dodging a fibro diagnosis because there isn't a cure anyway.  I take gabapentin on bad pain days and it helps.  I've had a lot of therapy and I've been doing a lot of mindfulness type stuff to try and calm my body down, but I find that as soon as things get stressful (Thanksgiving, for instance) pain comes back.  So it's not "in my head" but it is in my brain.[/quote]

OP here, thanks for the reply. It sounds like your'e doing everything you possibly can to manage it. [/quote]
