Is severe muscle soreness after a little exercise a symptom of fibromyalgia or a sign of something else?
I've had really severe soreness in muscles I (just barely) worked for the past 2 days (the barely-even-a workout was 3 days ago). I haven't quite been diagnosed with fibromyalgia yet, but all of the other tests have come back negative and it seems like that's going to be the diagnosis. Even though my muscles were not tired just afterward, they're really sore now, so sore I can barely walk normally. I was able to walk normally for a while after the workout, but the soreness set in about 12 hours later and hasn't gone away (it's been about 42 hours since the workout). Does this sound normal for someone with fibromyalgia? What can I do to increase my mobility and decrease my pain? How can I prevent this in the future?

1. its a sign of amny things...you don't get diagnosed with fms just becuase the other tests are negative..you need to meet the criteria such as tenderpoints
2. Your issues don't sound like Fibro to me although I could be wrong. But having fibro myself I know how it makes me feel. Each person can feel different symptoms with fibro. You need to have you Dr. do a diagnosis and test for it to see if that is the problem. Your muscle soreness could be caused by something as simple as dehydration.
