Cool Tender points show up later, or never.

Is the pain always like a dull heavy ache?

My pain feels more arthritic. If you lean on your elbows on a table, will your elbows burn if you have FMS?

I have had FMS for at least 17 years. In the beginning, I did not have the tender points; they appeared after seven or so years. Now I always have all (17?) points positive when I see my Rheumy. FMS is a weird disease and tender points are not always present. Everyone is different.
