Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It could be due to shoulder problem rather than fibromyalgia.
In fibromyalgia there will be pain in more than 11 different areas of body and also mood disturbances like depression.
So if you don't have such symptoms you don't have to think about it.I would advise you to consult orthopaedicean and get evaluate further.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
