First: Dave have you had your back x-rayed? Then, have you seen a rheumatologist re: Fibromyalgia? This Fibro is somewhat "new" but is certainly increasing. A few yrs ago, no one heard of it. I have your exact symptoms and have it badly. It is said to be like Arthritis only in the muscle & tendons but has proven to be MUCH more than that, & the whole body hurts. If you believe in alternative things, get MSM at a health foood store and take 2 in the morning & 2 at night.. ..it really works, CAN'T hurt you, but takes time..about 3 months. Lorane
