Frequently Asked Questions
Fibromyalgiacan cause pain anywhere, includingleg pain. Some common overlapping conditions can cause or contribute to leg pain, as well. This can make it hard to recognize pain from other sources rather than writing them off as just part of fibromyalgia.
This article explores causes of leg pain that may be related to fibromyalgia or that may come from a different condition, the symptoms to watch for, and how different types of leg pain are treated.

Fibromyalgia causesabnormal pain typesthat can strike the legs. These include:
Leg pain from these causes may feel like fibromyalgia pains in the rest of your body or it may have a different quality.
If your leg pain is from fibromyalgia, your healthcare provider will NOT find physical abnormalities such as joint wear and tear, a lot of inflammation, heat, or redness. X-rays and imaging studies will show what looks like healthy bones and tissues.
That doesn’t mean the pain isn’t real—it is. However, it’s in the nerves themselves and not the tissues.This makes fibromyalgia different from other pain conditions such asrheumatoid arthritisandlupus.
Treating Fibromyalgia Leg Pain
Leg pain from fibromyalgia should go away when your fibromyalgia is properly treated. Treatment options include:
It takes time and experimentation to come up with the right combination of treatments for you.
Neuropathyis pain from nerve damage. Some studies suggest fibromyalgia may involve certain types of nerve damage.Also,diabetesis common in people with fibromyalgia and can cause neuropathy.
Symptoms of neuropathy include:
To diagnose neuropathy in your legs, your healthcare provider may use:
Treating Neuropathy
Common treatments for neuropathy include:
Neuropathy can’t be cured, but it can often be well managed.
The sensations are often described as throbbing, creeping, or pulling. In many people, these sensations aren’t painful. However, in fibromyalgia, the brain interprets all unpleasant sensations as painful.
Some people with RLS also have uncontrollable leg movements, such as jerking, while asleep or awake and relaxing.
No diagnostic tests can identify RLS so it’s typically diagnosed based on your symptoms and tests to rule out other possible causes.
Treating Restless Legs Syndrome
In those cases, treating the underlying condition may alleviate RLS.
Other treatment options include:
The iliotibial band (ITB) is a strong band of tissue that runs from hip to knee. When it’s aggravated, you may developITB syndrome(or “runner’s knee”).
The pain of ITB syndrome usually starts on the outside of your knee. It may spread up the thigh clear to the hip, as well. It may be especially noticeable when you go up or down stairs.
It’s unknown whether ITB syndrome is more common in people with fibromyalgia. However, studies show fibromyalgia involves lax connective tissues and hypermobile joints,which may make conditions like ITB syndrome more likely.
Healthcare providers often diagnose ITB syndrome based on symptoms and a physical exam. If they’re not sure what’s causing the pain, they may order imaging tests, too.
Treating ITB Syndrome
Treatment strategies for ITB syndrome include:
If these measures don’t alleviate your knee pain, your healthcare provider may recommend surgery that can help.
Myofascial pain syndrome(MPS) involvestrigger points—taut areas in connective tissues that radiate pain to other areas. Trigger points in the legs are common. Many people with fibromyalgia also have MPS.
Symptoms of MPS include:
MPS doesn’t have a diagnostic test. It’s diagnosed based on:
Comparing Fibromyalgia and MPS
Treating Myofascial Pain Syndrome
Inautoimmune diseases, your immune system mistakenly identifies a healthy part of your body as a threat, such as a virus or bacterium. It then creates specialized cells called antibodies that attack and try to destroy that particular part.
Contemporary research suggests fibromyalgia may be an autoimmune disease.Whether it is or not, it’s established that some autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, make you more likely to develop fibromyalgia.
That was once thought to be a one-way relationship. Now, though, newer research suggests fibromyalgia may predispose you to autoimmunity.
Dozens of different autoimmune diseases exist, all with different targets. Autoimmune diseases that could cause leg pain include:
Blood tests for antibodies are often used to diagnose autoimmune diseases. Other tests vary depending on what your healthcare provider suspects.
Sjögren’s Disease in Fibromyalgia
Treating Autoimmune Disease
Treatment depends on which autoimmune disease you have.
However, the most common treatment is immunosuppressants or immunomodulators, (medications that suppress or change immune system activity). By calming the immune system, these drugs scale back the attack on your body.
Common immunosuppressants/immunomodulators include:
Other treatments may replace something the body can no longer produce on its own, such asthyroid hormonesorinsulin, or help manage symptoms.
Summary
Treatment depends on your diagnosis. It may include medications, physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and CAM treatments.
A Word From Verywell
Leg pain can affect your mobility and have a big impact on daily life. Don’t think you just have to live with it—talk to your healthcare provider about what might be causing it. If it’s not “just” another fibromyalgia symptom, you may be able to treat it successfully.
Frequently Asked QuestionsFibromyalgia causes pain throughout the body, so leg pain is a common symptom.If pain is only in your legs, however, it’s not fibromyalgia. By definition, fibromyalgia pain is widespread, meaning it’s on both sides of the body and above and below the waist.It’s impossible to predict how long any fibromyalgia symptom will last. It’s a chronic (long-lasting) condition, but symptoms fluctuate over time and change with treatment.A common description of fibromyalgia pain is “a migraine all over your body.” Pain may be sharp, dull, burning, achy, “zingy,” pins-and-needles, constant, intermittent, or any combination of those. It may also move around the body or generally stay in the same places.
