Get off narcotics!: They are not indicated in fibromyalgia. At your age, the diagnosis is suspect. I suspect you have not seen a rheumatologist!

Probably: Patients with fm will experience pain more intensely and will likely have a longer recovery time than other people. Fm is viewed as a disorder of central pain processing or heightened pain perception. Be careful about the potential to overuse narcotic analgesics. While pain can be prolonged, that doesn't mean that healing of the tissues is delayed.

It might: Be a good idea to consult with a pain management specialist and consider non-narcotic approaches to pain control as an adjunctive approach.
