I've felt this very similar sensation. I was concerned at first, but then, with some Tylenol and mindfulness, I was able to go back to sleep. I heavily considered going to the ER, but the sharp pain went away by the time I woke up again. How long has this specific pain episode lasted?

This can be a symptom of fibro but it can also be a symptom of many other things that are more serious. Seem as this isn't something you have had before, I would suggest going to a medical professional!

Ive gotten this a couple times especially in my left arm. Ive gone to the ER but wasted my time because after all testing every time they said its not anything with my heart and probably just fibromyalgia or neuropathy or sciatica

Sounds like a nerve pinch in your neck or shoulder. Happens to me often. Going to PT on Monday. Will have my Rheumatologist xray if PT feels its necessary. I also have RA & OA with my Fibromyalgia. If I have a lot of neuralgia I take a B12 sublingual until it goes away.

I've had these symptoms for years with my fibromyalgia. In my arms, my legs, and my feet. I've also had spasms in my back as well.

I’ve also had similar experiences with my fibromyalgia but I also have chronic Lyme disease. But I also suffered a stroke and these symptoms might be a mini stroke. I would seek a dr help. Could be the fibromyalgia could be more serious. I only mention this not to scare you but to make sure that you don’t ignore symptoms!

Welcome I have pain in my hands sometimes (like cramping in the palm in one hand and a sharp burning pain in the other between two knuckles). It just started recently. I also get numbness and tingling. It’s disturbing but my Dr said it is a symptom of Fibromyalgia. Hope you get relief soon. Be Well 🌺

you could have a pinched nerve. this would happen to me a lot, especially when i was driving. the shock went up my elbow to the rest of my arm. went to a neurologist recently who confirmed it and got put on amitriptyline. it’s been helping a lot!

Sounds like a pinched nerve. I have one in my neck and that is exactly what it feels like. Happens most often in the middle of the night while I'm sleeping and it wakes me up.

I'm in no way disregarding fibromyalgia but I thought that's what was wrong with me and it turns out I also have severe spinal osteoarthritis which certain problems with the spine causes pinches nerves. I would have them do x rays for sure.
