Hi,
Decompression surgery is the best option for you. But before all that, I suggest you see a spine surgeon and seek his opinion with all your scans too. After a thorough physical examination, if the cause of the pain seems to originate from the nerve compression, it probably is not fibromyalgia. The best thing is to get a repeat MRI scan after consulting with your spine surgeon. Hope this answered your question.
