Hello,

From the array of your symptoms it is pretty clear that nerves or their roots in the neck is not the sole cause of pain.

Pain in fibromyalgia is more like dull aching continous pain and not that sharp shooting type.

Your facial symptoms points more towards the diagonosis of facial nerve involvement.

So your diagonosis goes more into the favour of facial nerve involvement along with cervical nerve root involvement.

So need to get a thorough workup for it,as it doesnt apprars to be like a simple fibromyalgia.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Rohan Shanker Tiwari
