FIBROMYALGIA
Fibromyalgia Overview
What is this about?
Fibromyalgia treatment at SpineCare starts with understanding this common musculoskeletal condition, which is often misdiagnosed and misunderstood. Patients frequently experience anxiety, depression, decreased pain threshold, fatigue, and chronic pain throughout the body.
At SpineCare, our team of physicians understands how challenging it is to manage these symptoms. We work closely with patients to monitor and manage the chronic pain associated with fibromyalgia to help provide relief.
Common Symptoms of Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia symptoms vary in severity and characteristics. Many patients endure crippling fatigue, disturbed sleep, muscle twitches, and joint pain around the shoulders, back, and hips. Other symptoms may include:
- Headaches
- Dryness in eyes, mouth, and nose
- Abdominal pain
- Difficulty concentrating
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- Tingling or numbness in the hands and feet
- Chronic stiffness and pain
- Incontinence
Fibromyalgia pain is widespread and often affects multiple parts of the body.
