i am sorry to hear about your pain all over. if you can elaborate in details then it would be better. if you have pain on rest and then gets better with activity then it could be inflammatory pain, which could have been picked up in the MRI . if its only on activity and gets better with rest then its mechanical pain. a lot of degenerative conditions get induced by trauma ...have you had any trauma to knee before( as your MRI mentions chondro malacia patella) you must review with an orthopedician, and also ask him for a referral to a physiotherapist who can advise you on knee strengthening exercises.
Next Steps
Fibromyalgia is generally a disease of exclusion, after a thorough investigation by a Rheumatologist. the treatment is a a combination of drugs and graded exercises. its a difficult disease to control and needs a alot of effort and patience.
