Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that causes:

· General fatigue

· Pain in the bones and muscles (musculoskeletal pain)

· Cognitive disturbances and sleep disorders

· Tenderness in some parts of the body

The issue with fibromyalgia is that it can be challenging to understand. Its symptoms are similar to those of other conditions, and it doesn’t have any significant diagnostic tests.

There was a time when healthcare professionals wondered whether fibromyalgia was natural. Today, there is a much better understanding of this condition. The stigma around it has eased.

The symptoms of this condition usually start after an injury, surgery, physical trauma, or psychological trauma. But then, it is not entirely clear what causes the onset of fibromyalgia. However, studies suggest that it might be due to a disorder in how pain signals are processed by the brain, thus resulting in the amplification of these signals.

Symptoms of fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is the leading cause of the so-called “regions of pain.” Some of these regions overlap so-called “tender points” or “trigger points.”
