Fibromyalgia: Fibromyalgia involves pain regulation in the brain, which amplifies pain or other sensations either generally or from particular areas. If your back muscles are under special strain , you could have local rather than generalized pain--a physical therapist might be able to assess whether your posture or routines are causing this--guarding against pain can cause painful tension in nearby areas.

Chronic Muscle Spasm: Imo fibromyalgia pain generated by chronically spastic muscle of upper & lower back trying to hold unstable musculoskeletal structure upright within gravitational field. Published in practical pain management (on line) in 2009, is my method of physical examination to demonstrate this instability; requires series of body posture observations. Spastic muscles develop painful ischemic trigger points.
