question: I am 49 years old. I have been getting pains shooting in different areas of my body (arms, legs, back) for year 1/2. all blood work fine, rhematologist checked for Rhematoid Artritus and Lupus was negative. a few months ago, i started getting pains in my shoulder blades and rib cage under the breast area, especially on the right. Had ultrasound of abdomen done and no gallstones, everything looked fine. could this be from my hormones and or pms? Pains in shoulders get worse when ovulating...pain all over body becomes less while ovulating!
