What is fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is an often misunderstood disorder that leads to widespread pain throughout your musculoskeletal system. Other symptoms, including fatigue and sleep problems accompany the pain.

It’s believed that the pain associated with fibromyalgia results from a malfunction in the pain receptors in your brain and spinal cord. This often intensifies normal pain, regularly making it unbearable to deal with.

The symptoms of fibromyalgia often begin after a triggering event, such as an infection, traumatic event, or episode of intense stress.

What are the signs of fibromyalgia?

Widespread pain in your body is often one of the first signs of fibromyalgia. However, there are other accompanying symptoms, which include:

Fatigue
Feeling tired
Stiffness in your body
Sleep issues
Depression or anxiety
Headaches

The condition also coincides with other medical problems, including depression, migraines, and chronic fatigue syndrome.

How is fibromyalgia diagnosed?

There’s no one test to determine if you have fibromyalgia. Often, the symptoms of this disorder mimic other problems, so it’s difficult to diagnose.

The practice takes time and effort to get to the bottom of your symptoms. This includes strategies such as:

History and physical exam
Symptoms
Blood work, including traditional and functional medicine laboratory work-ups, is not commonly done by other physicians
Diagnostic studies to rule out other problems

The Center for Pain & Rehabilitation Medicine team rules out other causes of your symptoms to make sure fibromyalgia is an accurate diagnosis.
