Magrego,
I feel bad as you are so young to be going through a mysterious pain problem. I don't know details about fibro, but i have a lot of endocrinology problems. WHen my spine surgeon suggested i might have fibromyalgia i asked my endocrinologist . My endo said he thinks fibro is just an undiagnosed endocrine problem. I don't want to add confusion to you, but maybe you could find an excellent endocrinologist and see if something is going on. One thing if you are on pain meds for a while it decreases testosterone levels. I have found this happened to me as women have a little testosterone and i had practically none and am replacing it.
WEll it did get to a point with me where everything hurt , all my old injuries from my youth i am 53, was 50 i think at the time. So both my spine surgeon and my endocrinologist sent me to a rheumatologist. THey had already ruled out things like rheumatoid arthritis. But i was diagnosed with something you cannot have as you are way way too young., But it is called polymyalgia rheumatica and is a disease of older people (they said i was way to young to have it ) that causes inflammation in all your muscles. THe treatment was lots of steroids.
Just wanted to explain there are other possibilities and things we have never heard of , unfortunately. So my advice would be to have your endocrinology system checked out.
Let us know how it is all going,
judy
