yes, you can have pain from scleroderma especially if you develop digital ulcers. Of course it may also be from the fibromyalgia... It seems like everyone that has sclero experiences a slightly different set of symptoms.

What types of diagnostic tests have you had so far?

There is a support group and message board on inspire.com with many people with scleroderma who will be able to tell you what kinds of pain they've had. I get a lot of support there (I have sine scleroderma)....

the website is: http://www.inspire.com/groups/scleroderma-foundation/discussions/
