There are 2 at the base of the skull,2 at the front of the neck, 2 on top of the shoulders sort of half way out, 2 on the shoulder blades at the front, 2 at the back either side of the spine, 2 at the elbows on the top of te arm, 2 inside the knees, 2 sort of at the top of the gluteus maximus and 2 nearer the outside of the hips. You really need a reliable chart to identify them. Many unidentified pains are referred to as myalgia but true fibromyalgia always involves these points. Kirsteen > > > > > > > > >
