No: ? can have fibromyalgia (FM) "just in legs". FM is "umbrella label" for a constellation of symptoms that are used as part of the diagnostic definition; along with discrete pained anatomical loci. The constellation requires, among several other symptoms, that there be chronic pain in both upper and lower back regions. Chronic leg pains in a 35 year old male might be discerned by an Osteopath.
