I still have many issues like you have , although I don't have stabbing pain.
Finally, my doc explained that it was likely symptoms of Fibro....he only prescribed Doluxetine. I researched Fibro & much of what I found was that it is best to find a very good Rheumatologist who diagnoses & treats Fibro.

I have just started with one who started me on low dose of Gababentin and I am to 2400mg now at night and I am sleeping much better....still wake up in pain especially if I have had a overly active & stressful day. Also, I take 60mg Duloxetine in the AM which is supposed to help with the Serotonin levels in your body....give you more pep during the day.

Fibro has been known to be triggered by trauma & viruses so I think the best route to take would be a Rheumotolgist.

Best wishes to you on your search for answers!

P.S. It was also suggested that I have Myofascial Release Therapy...I have just started that. It is a therapy that is done to release the Fascia.....I would research that also as it is hard for me to explain the whole concept.
