My new primary/geriatrician said I have no need to see a rheumatologist for my fibro. I too use a pain management doctor and if I ever do PT again, I need to find one very gentle or else it causes more pain!

For what it's worth:

The rheumatologist (a very good and experienced one) I recently saw who diagnosed my FM, quickly and frankly admitted that he and rheumatologists in general aren't the experts in treating FM.

He recommended pursuing a pain management specialist and an specialist that has experience in muscle diseases.

This is consistent with what others have reported.
