Liza Jane,
I tend to agree with you. I spent about 10 years in severe fibro pain that was labeled by one doctor after another as fibromyalgia, fibrositis, myofacial, etc. I think it was but a pre-curser to the damage my spine has and is going thru. I know there are so many fields of thought on this subject. But like you, I often wonder if it's the creaks and groans of all the muscles stretching and pulling and cramping as the spine settles.

Aussie,
I don't take Aleve. I'm still taking Indomethacin (prescription anti-inflammatory) until they can get my sed level down. But Aleve is an over the counter anti-inflammatory medicine. It looks as if you are on a regimine of them already. Be sure you take them with a full stomach of food.
