Not everything hurts: To have fibromyalgia does not mean everything hurts although pain is usually wide spread. What is required is that pain be felt primarily in non-bone, non-joint structures (i.e., muscles, tendons, ligaments, soft tissues, skin, fascia). Pain is usually present on both sides and both above and below the waist.
