Hi,

Maybe many people here will find this question superfluous. So far I
found many pictures of their location on the human body via the World
Wide Web. But when I look closer then sometimes I see differences (not
all tender points seem to be at the same positions in all pictures I
saw).
Can somebody here tell me where I might find the "official" picture on
the Web with the exact location of the tender points in fibromyalgia?
Thank you in advance for any reply!

Maybe I can help you with this one Norbert.
Now let me advise you I'm not a doctor or anything like that.

Some will agree with this answer and some will not.

THERE IS ONLY ONE TENDER POINT..... (For some of us)

Lay on the floor and let someone outline you with a crayon and then look
back at the outline.
That's the tender spot. The whole body!!!

Hi Norbert,
The most accurate chart I've found is the one I gave Archer Jo for her
web site.

Wow! That's a great one, ((Alex))!
I also think that Dr. Devin Starlanyl explains them the best of anyone
else I've read. I was able to articulate that more clearly to my doc
when asked the diff.. between tender points & trigger points & which
goes w/ what...fms/cmp!

When I looked into Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as a possible
treatment for my fibro, I was amazed to find that a lot of the tender /
trigger points fall where major meridians cross.

Meridians are lines of energy (chi, pronounced chee) that encircle the
body and correspond to major organs (i.e., the Liver Meridian, the
Spleen Meridian, etc.).

If you look at -->

http://www.qi-journal.com/tcmarticles/acumodel/acumodel.asp

you will see that some of the tender / trigger points on the websites
posted in response to your question can be found on the acupuncture
models found on this website, and that some are junctions between one or
more meridians.

After 25 years of being a patient (guinea pig?) of Western medicine, I
have come to the conclusion that it exists mostly to further line the
pockets of insurance companies and big pharmaceutical companies.

There may be some here that have been helped by Western medicine. You
are the lucky ones. I have only in the last year or so had any relief
from the constant pain, depression, migraines, etc. Only after becoming
an advocate for my own health and educating myself (and some others)
about alternative medicines and treatments, have I recovered enough to
have some kind of life.

When you have tried everything and nothing brings relief, you may also
choose to educate yourself and not cling to big businesses idea of how
you should be treated.

Look to the Newbies Welcome posts of April 1st to see many links for
education, not only about fibromyalgia, but all the "sister" diseases
that may exist concurrently.
