My friend swears I have fibromyalgia. She has been dealing with it for 6 years plus. Here is what I am experiencing ontop of my Crohn's pain:

-SEVERE Neck and Shoulder pain (sharp and stabby) on both sides
-Next day after the extreme neck pain is followed with Headache from center of bottom of skull which makes it difficult to see
-Muscle weakness
-Feels like bruises up and down my legs and arms. Can't cross my legs or rest ankle on leg for very long
-Hip pain is the worst. Can't lay down on my sides without having to constantly move from numbness.
-When I've been to massage therapist she can barely touch my hips and buttocks without intense pain in MANY points.. thighs too.
-However, I can have someone pretty much beat the crap out of my shoulders and it feel good. I don't understand that one.. noone can since I'm a tiny girl. Boyfriend complains his thumbs hurt after rubbing for 3 minutes!!

What kind of testing is the doctor going to do.. if anything? I'm only 23 years old to boot. :hallo3:
 
A rheumatologist can feel at certain pain points you would probably have and get your list of symptoms to confirm a diagnosis.
