🔍 Myths vs. Facts | Fibromyalgia
In this series, common myths about musculoskeletal conditions are debunked, and evidence-based facts are shared to help you better understand and manage your pain.
Fibromyalgia is a term that relates to a set of symptoms which typically includes widespread body pain (usually neck, shoulders, back and pelvis but can also involve the limbs as well as headaches). It is also usually associated with a feeling of muscle tension, touch tenderness of the muscles, and feelings of fatigue and sleep disturbance. This may also be associated with symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, stomach pain, period pain and depressed mood. The symptoms of fibromyalgia can be very distressing and debilitating.
Fibromyalgia is fairly common in middle-aged people. Pain exacerbations usually occur during times of stress, ill-health, inactivity, over activity and poor sleep.
