"I have taken liver suppliments for a long time now but I can't discount any thing. Also I did injure my right ribs falling in bathtub (2003) I slipped trying to get up. So if hg effects old injuries, my hip and ribs qualify."

That reminds me of my situation. I tripped on a pile of slabs of stone around 30 years ago, and my leg muscle was very sore and bruised for a few weeks. Many years later, when I get fibromyalgia attacks, it is often that muscle that aches, while the same muscle in the other leg doesn't ache. I guess if the injury was severe enough, there may be a permanent change in the muscle.
