Brief Answer:
This pain is due to fibro myalgia

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome To Ask A Doctor Service
I have gone through your question, I understand your concern.
Your condition is due to to fibromyalgia and nothing else. But as you are taking liveothyroxine, means you are hypothyroid, so make sure that your thyroid hormone level, serum calcium level are within normal limits.
So get these test done and as most probably your pain is due to fibromyalgia, but to confirm it by 100% get Doppler leg done, to rule out any vascular occlusion.
I hope your query is clear now.
Thanks and regards
