Confused and diagnosed with fibromyalgia

whimiscally, you aren't the one confused.
I'd start with an MRI of the ankle. Imaging sometimes doesn't recognize a hairline fracture especially x-ray imaging. But while looking for alignment the MRI will also image the tendons and ligament.
It is probably the IBS that led him to the diagnosis. IBS and fibromyalgia are thought to have a common axis. You might look at https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10296515/
I can't see it, but I'm only a lay person, glad you don't have fibromyalgia.

honestly this is extremely insightful! i am probably going to see if i can get an MRI of my ankle/leg since i wasn’t aware that x-rays probably wouldn’t help me figure out what the problem is.
on the topic of IBS, i did find the study interesting and honestly i don’t really have pain anywhere else aside from my ankle that spreads up to my leg. i only once had back issues but that was because i had to admitted into hospital and i didn’t have energy to move so my back muscles ended up tightening. however that was in november and im all good now!
