Anyone else?

Hi! I quit smoking and drinking caffeine three years ago and I can say that my symptoms have been tolerable. Well...... Call it a flare or coming out of remission (I know there is no remission) now I'm dealing with burning and pains that come and go in my left abdomen, lower pelvic area and above my pubic bone. These are new pains that I've never had. I'm also experiencing the old pains that I've had before such as the pain and burning in my ribs and lower back. Anyone else had these pains?

Hi @Ballerp1, and welcome to the forum.

ANY time that you experience ANY symptom that is new, it is imperative to get it checked out by a doctor. It's easy for us with fibro to automatically attribute everything to the fibro because there are so many symptoms and they vary so widely. But any new thing must be reported and checked because if it is not just a part of fibro it may need treatment.

Abdominal pain can be caused by some very serious conditions, and if not investigated it could lead to something life-threatening. Please see your doctor immediately or as close to that as possible, and if the pains get suddenly severe, get to an emergency medical facility without delay.

Sun is right. It might be something unrelated that is important to identify.

In response to the specific question you posed: I get a burning pain but it largely stays in my head, face, shoulders and back and feels just below my skin surface like I have an internal sunburn...
