Frankly I'd would offer that there is no "type" of physician that routinely diagnoses Fibro - that in itself is a problem. Most Drs - to include Pain Mgmt specialists and Orthos do not fully understand/recognize Fibro or Myofascial pain at all and therefore your search could be long. (Don't mean to be negative.)

Personally my search has involved a Neurosurgeon, 3 Neurologists, Orthopaedic Hand Surgeon, Orthopaedic Shoulder Surgeon, Head of Pain Ctr @ 2 major Boston hospitals, 2 Physiatrists, 2 PTs, etc .......

In my opinion, your best best is a Physiatrist. Dependent upon the breadth of your symptoms perhaps an Endocronologist may be helpful as well. I've no experience w/a Rheumatologist but understand they are usually good w/Fibro diag.
