Finding the Best Purse for Fibromyalgia for Less Shoulder Pain

January 6, 2020 Scott Grant, ATP, CRTS®

The goal of choosing a purse for a person with fibromyalgia is to reduce pain while still carrying the things you need. The best purse for fibromyalgia pain is usually a cross body or other bag that helps distribute the weight. Hand bags and carts are other options too.
