Answers:
shooting pains does sound like a neurological problem-
But it has beenmy experience that shooting pains are not Fibromyalgia (a disorder of teh central nervous system)

I woudl get another opinion if teh known problems could be causing this type of pain-

shooting pain down the legs is often due to teh siatic (sp!?0 nerve-

could be another nerve that is causing pain in your arms and legs-

Many docs are quick to label any pain as Fibromyalgia because they use it as a trashcan diagnosis--even when

Narcotics don't work well on nervous system pain-

look into the meds for neuropathy!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

failing a test for rheumatoid is not conclusive that you don't have that particular type of arthritis!. there is a possibility you may have another form since there many varieties!.
narcotics are not particularly effective when dealing with pain from inflammation!. fibro usually consists of having pain and high sensitivity at certain points of your body!.
just adding my 2 cents!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
