Could fibro concentrate just in the upper shoulders and the mid back?

Not likely: Fibromyalgia pain is typically more diffuse and symetric..Meaning equally on both sides of the body. If it is just your shoulders/upper back areas are involved, it is more likely to be muscle strain etc...It can be relatively determined by a physical exam from your doc...
