A member asked:
Does fibromyalgia causes paint in the joints as well in the flesh of my back even though i am takin my medicine?help please.

Not joint per se: Fibromyalgia does not directly affect joint, but not uncommon to encounter early morning stiffness after awakening. Do not know what medicine you are taking, but analgesics, nsaids, antidepressants do not work well. Better are fda approved lyrica, cymbalta, savella (milnacipran).
