'Multilocational' is sometimes used synonymously with 'multifocal'

“Multifocal” means that it shows up in several places at the same time.

Thus, 'multifocal pain syndrome' is also a plausible rendering.
Googling for "multifocal pain syndrome" gives 3 hits, one of which lists "chronic multifocal pain syndrome", which perhaps fits the asker's context
