I have been having aching feelings in my upper body for a month?

Question

For the past month my shoulders, chest, and back have had a dull aching feeling. The doctors did blood tests, ekg, chest xray, and stress test and nothing came up abnormal. Basically, I feel a sorness (not in my muscles) more inside, and it is sometimes in my arms, sometimes in my shoulders, sometimes in my chest , sometimes on side, sometimes the other. it comes for a few hours, then goes. I have tried sleeping, excercising. Any ideas?? the doctor toldme to take ibuprofen for a week.

Answer 1

These symptoms can sometimes be an indication of fibromyalgia. I would recommend asking your doctor to refer you to a rheumatologist (a doctor that diagnoses and treats diseases and disorders of the bones and joints such as fibromyalgia) to see what they think could be going on.
