Chronic painful muscle knots, widespread

Just read all the medical conditions associated with fibromyalgia and I have every single one:
Anxiety, depression, hx. of psychological trauma, difficulty managing my stressors, migraines, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic insomnia, frequent brain fog and just diagnosed with severe TMJ issues. And a female over 40...
Right now I am having muscular pain on the inside of my left knee. A MRI showed absolutely nothing...everything was "normal". No explanation for this pain which I have been experiencing for several months now. My PCP baffled. Will start PT and have a pending appointment with an orthopedist but not for several months (soonest opening).
Now wondering - is this fibromyalgia?

I have similar diagnoses and background. Was diagnosed with fibro at 25ish, am 37 now.

I had knee pain and all my imaging showed a "anatomically perfect knee". After getting evaluated by PT, it turned out to be that I have a weak hip flexor which causes pain in my knee because it is having to work harder to compensate for my weak hip.

Have you gotten any relief?
