Do i have fibromyalgia?

Hi there, iv'e recently been diagnosed with fibro but im unsure weather the doctor just said i have that just to stop me gojng dowm there and pestering them all the time. It all started march last year my tooth snapped so i seen a dentist who gave me a crown..the crown was way to big so when i'd open and close my mouth my jaw would slide to the left when biting together this gave me tmj (clicking and pain in the jaw) 2 months later i was training yo run a marathon and injured my calf..i seen a physiotherpist and he got me to stretch my achillies..after a week of stretching my achillies i started feeling burning and stabbing pains in them (another injury) i seen a diferent physio who told me to stretch my glutes to increase blood flow to my achillies..in doing so i felt the same burning stabbing sensation in my knees after stretching my glutes as i did in my achillies..i was very tight as after my achillies injury i could barely walk and was bed bound for 3 months so i feel i may have just over stretched my glutes which caused pain in my knees..anyway i was bed bound for months i was in so much pain..i started playing video games 5 hours a day due to bordum..after a month of playing my computer i felt pain just like my achillies and knees in my wrist and thumb..inbetween all this i have had 2 knee mri scans on each knee (come back normal) although i don't feel the burning pain in my knees often they feel very very week and i can't bend them that far back as it causes my knees to feel that burning pain again..ive had blood tests testing for everything which have all come back as normal..and ive had x rays on my knees to which come back as normal..my jaw im seeing a specialist for and i have infact been diagnosed with tmj because of the clicking of my jaw..as my my achillies and wrists iv'e had no tests on those areas to check for injuries..iv'e been unable to walk that far distances i was walking up to 45 minutes a day 4 months sgo but after walking on cobblestones all day i started feeling the burning pain in my ankles which hasn't got any better so now im walking avout 5 minutes a day as they are in so much pain..my doctor diagnosed me with fibromyalgia but i don't feel like iv'e been tested enough like surely my achillies could get looked into or my wrists and ankles..surely i could have seem a neurologist or rhemologist first before getting diagnosed? Im confused..everything that's happened to be has happened for a reason weather over-stretching or over playing videogames or my jaw misaligning due to an oversized tooth put in by the dentist...isn't fibromyalgia supposed to be pain coming on without any know cause or one injury which changes pain signals in your brain which then causes widespread pain in un injured areas without no known cause? Im a male and have also read its more common in females..although allot of my symptons add up to fibtomyalgia there's evidence suggesting its not and there's another cause..as i have also read fibromyalgia has similar symptons to allot of other conditions..what do ypu guys think..does it sound like it is fibro or another condition? Or just extreame badluck and very tight muscles that haven't healed correctly after injury? Thanks for your replys in advance.
