Could this be fibro?

[resah]

I have tender places such as my shoulders, thighs, back, hips, etc. All I have to do is place pressure with my finger and it hurts. If I treat myself to a pedicure the massage part on my calves hurts. It's like I am sore everywhere. Could this be fibro? Could it be related to IC?

Appreciate any feedback!

Yes, it could. I have the tender points also. That is one of the ways they dx fibro. I see you are from KY. I am too. I dont know how far you are from Nashville, TN but I see a great rhematologist there. She is the head of the dept at Vanderbuilt. She also teaches at Vandy. If you want her name and number, just pm me, and I will pass it along to you. By the way, I am in BG, where are you?

It's possible, but you really should see your primary care physician --- you could also have a problem with dietary deficiency and a blood test will check that. I know I have muscle soreness and aches when my potassium gets too low.
