Sup. Scap. Spine: ? where is fibromyalgia (FM) pain severe. FM trigger points are aligned with sites of soft tissue insertion on major joint contours, where gravity & musculoskeletal support are biomechanically focused. One site is superior scapula spine, whereat superior trapezium & levator scapulae insert. It is not coincidental that this anatomical locus, behind shoulder, is prominently depicted in FM med ads.
