A member asked:

Is pain from fibromyalgia worse than normal aches?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Apples and oranges: Fibromyalgia is a persistent pattern of pain. "normal aches" is a bad term. Aches are not a part of normal. Sometimes it is just a matter of stretching and warm up prior to activities, but if aches are persistent, see a physician knowledgeable in muscle and joint disease.
