Find a good doctor and work with that office to help you with your pain
I do not know enough about your condition to even guess what is going on. Fibromyalgia can be triggered by any chronic pain syndrome.
Chronic pain syndrome(Fibromyalgia) is a condition, characterized by three different problems:
1: source of the pain can be osteoarthritis or other possible problems, chronic pain leads to decreased activity, which leads to de-conditioning of the muscles to the point that any activity more than usual leads to soreness in muscles.
2: sleep problems
3: depression/anxiety
Treatment of the condition includes addressing all three problems together.
1. Structured exercise program
2. Treatment of sleep problems like obstructive sleep apnea
3. Treatment of depression and anxiety

I am sorry that you have not gotten help. Fibromyalgia is a real chronic disease like high blood pressure and diabetes. It is a challenging diagnosis due to the lack of standardized tests. You need to see a rheumatologist. When you see a rheumatologist, they will make sure you do not have any other underlying autoimmune diseases. They might also help you learn more about this condition.

Hello!
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, fibromyalgia can be tricky because it is essentially a diagnosis of exclusion, we have limited therapies, and these can be insufficient to address fibromyalgia symptoms.
We are hoping research on new therapeutics catches up with our need for treatment :)!
Thanks so very much!
