Does Fibromyalgia Cause Pain All Over The Body?
For the past coupleof weeks I have had pain various places at different times. When I sit I have no pain. I did take a six day dosage of prednisone but it really did not help. I never know where I will have the pain next. Most has been around my right back side partof my hip. But it has occured in my left hip. left leg l, chest twice and across my back at my waist line. Can you diagosis what is happening to me?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Joint or muscle pain can be due to different possible causes such as : (a) autoimmune disease such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis etc
(b) osteoarthritis due to wear and tear of the joints
(c)blood related conditions such as sickle cell disease
You may want to consider seeing a rheumatologist (a doctor who specializes in diseases of the muscles and joints ) to determine the cause.
This would require examination , blood tests and imaging.
I hope this helps
