Fibromyalgia is a problem in pain conducting pathway. It may be due to genetic disorders or post-traumatic stress disorder or panic attacks etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
It is treated with antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications and painkillers. If symptoms not improved please consult psychiatrist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
