Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you are wondering if thigh pain suggest fibromyalgia. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like cramps, injury, atherosclerosis, arthritis, presence of infection in the bone or tissues of the thigh or slipped disk. Fibromyalgia can also be one of the cause, if your have already ruled out above condition then go for test to rule out fibromyalgia. I would suggest you to go for complete blood count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate or thyroid function tests to confirm the diagnosis. Doctor may prescribe duloxetine or gabapentin after reviewing test report. For now apply warm compresses, take proper rest and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
