Hi,
Symptoms of fibromyalgia (FM) often are exacerbated during periods of high-level real or perceived stress. However pain at backbone with radiation towards front indicates root pain. Hence spine etiology needs to be ruled out. MRI dorsal spine won't be out of place.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
