By definition Fibromyalgia is wide-spread pain throughout at least 11 of 18 "tender points" on the body, often in addition to fatigue. It would be very unlikely that someone with Fibromyalgia ONLY has pain in one area of the body. However, it is not uncommon that the pain is worse in one area than it is in others. Often, Fibromyalgia patients may not realize they have pain throughout the body until the various tender points are touched. Determining pain in those tender points only requires the application of mild pressure to each point.
