• Fibromyalgia leg pain is the worst. The Sartorius muscle or the longest muscle in the body is in the upper leg and is where radiating pain occurs. Climbing or descending stairs can cause intense pain. The best thing patients can do in this situation is to use a stair climbing chair or find a technique for climbing stairs that help ease the pain. Maybe like leaning against a railing or a wall.
• An annoying trigger point that aggravates fibromyalgia first thing in the morning is on the facia or the bottoms of the feet. Stepping on the floors causes the burning pain that fibromyalgia patient's experience. Use a tennis ball or foot roller to help relax the feet by working the pressure points.
