Default Difference between fibromyalgia and PN

I first of all went to my GP and she referred me to pain clinic. They diagnosed me with PN and gave me RX for gabapentin.

Later, I complained of sore spots on my body to my GP and she thought fibromyalgia might be possibility. I got referral to rheumy MD and she said it was not fibromyalgia.

What is difference between the two? Gabapentin is used to treat both. Allodynia is prominent for me.

A lot of my pain is in tummy and waist. It hurts to wear pants. Pain is better in morning after sleeping overnight. Sitting hurts worse. I get more relief from standing and laying down.
