A member asked:
It pains only when i touch, near lateral head triceps brachii. is it fibromyalgia? can this be the cause for the referred shoulder pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Local myalgia: Muscle co-contraction (i.e., muscle splinting) is a reflex protective response that is mediated through the cns. It results in muscle tightening (i.e., guarding) to protect the injured part. Usually there is no pain until the injured part is moved. To be included in the diagnosis of fm, the pain should be located in at least three out of four quadrants of the body or along the entire spine.
