My mother has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and she doesn't routinely suffer from back pain.

*hugs you like he's never hugged you before* I hope you feel better. No one should have to go through this...

For any regular medication you're on, have you verified that none of it has been subject to recall? A batch may have gotten tainted somehow- happened to my mother with her thyroid medication in the past.
