I have been suffering from mid back pain ( under the left scapula) for decades, but every year it got worse, became more frequent, , until now I am in agonizing pain every day. I have undergone numerous/ different treatments at Johns Hopkins Pain Management Clinic, to no avail. The thought is that muscle spasm touches nerves and causes this excruciating pain, but not certain. I am desperate.

@spenjen Have you tried gabapentin? I began in tiny doses and the change was amazing. Because of multiple injuries I now take 1200x2. Luckily I can tolerate it n. I know it works well for some but not all. Some prefer Lyrica (I don’t).
A warm therapy pool can help (if one is available)
I go to a pain clinic but none of the injections have helped. I gather that I am not alone in this. But it is relatively recent that fibro was diagnosed which means that treatments are guesswork
