What Causes Fibromyalgia?

Most professionals aren't entirely sure what causes the condition, but many believe that genetics, certain infections, or physical or emotional trauma may be culprits. Since there are many possible causes of fibromyalgia, and most professionals can't easily address the causes, you really should consider seeing a fibromyalgia professional.

What Is Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a condition that causes pain all over the body (also referred to as widespread pain), sleep problems, fatigue, and often emotional and mental distress. People with fibromyalgia may be more sensitive to pain than people without fibromyalgia. This is called abnormal pain perception processing. Fibromyalgia affects about 4 million US adults, about 2% of the adult population. The cause of fibromyalgia is not known, but it can be effectively treated and managed.

How Is Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Treated?

There are a number of different treatment options for complex regional pain syndrome; they can be divided into the following categories:

- Medications Many medications have been used to treat CRPS, from tricyclic antidepressants to topical and intravenous ketamine; treating CRPS with medication can lead to varying and somewhat unpredictable results.
- Therapy Both occupational and physical therapy play an important role in the treatment of CRPS as they can help to relearn certain movements and perform them without pain.
- Interventional Therapies Interventional therapies, such as sympathetic nerve blocks, are one of the most popular methods used to treat CRPS. These nerve blocks serve two important functions: in the formulation of a diagnosis as well as part of a treatment plan.

What Are Typical Symptoms of CRPS?

Most individuals do not have all of these symptoms, and the number of symptoms typically reduces during recovery.

- Unprovoked or spontaneous pain that can be constant or fluctuate with activity. Some say it feels like a "burning" or "pins and needles" sensation, or as if the affected limb was being squeezed.
- Excess or prolonged pain after use or contact. There is often increased sensitivity in the affected area, known as allodynia, in which light touch, normal physical contact, and use is felt by the person to be very painful
- Changes in skin temperature, skin color, or swelling of the affected limb. The injured arm or leg may feel warmer or cooler than the opposite limb.
- Changes in skin texture. Over time, insufficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients can cause skin in the affected limb to change texture.
- And much more.

What Causes Complex Regional Pain Syndrome?

Although complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a recognized medical condition, its exact etiology (cause or set of causes) is still unclear. However, doctors have determined that CRPS typically develops within a month of an injury, including both minor and severe injuries. These can include:

- Bone fractures.
- Sprains and strains.
- Burns.
- Cuts.

While most people with these types of injuries recover without any significant long-term effects, people with CRPS develop pain that is much more severe and longer-lasting than what is considered normal. In severe cases, the pain can spread beyond the original injury site, oftentimes affecting an entire limb.

How Is Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Diagnosed?

Complex regional pain syndrome is suspected when a patient's symptoms develop four to six weeks after limb trauma, the symptoms are regional (affecting an entire limb), and the symptoms cannot be fully explained by the initial trauma. To determine whether a patient meets CRPS diagnostic criteria, an actual diagnosis of CRPS is made solely based on medical history and a physical examination. The diagnostic criteria of CRPS has four components:

First, the pain that is present is disproportionally painful to any event that causes it

Second, symptoms occur in at least three of the four following categories:
Sensory (increase in sensitivity)
Vasomotor (temperature or color changes in skin)
Sudomotor/edema (sweating changes or swelling)
Motor/trophic (motor impairment or changes in the hair/nails/skin)

Third, signs are observable in at least two of the four categories above (sensory, vasomotor, sudomotor/edema, motor/trophic)

Fourth, no other diagnosis can better explain the signs and symptoms

What Is Anxiety?

Anxiety is a feeling of fear, dread, and uneasiness. It might cause you to sweat, feel restless and tense, and have a rapid heartbeat. It can be a normal stress reaction. For example, you might feel anxious when faced with a difficult problem at work, before taking a test, or before making an important decision. It can help you to cope. The anxiety may give you a boost of energy or help you focus. But for people with anxiety disorders, the fear is not temporary and can be overwhelming.

Trigger Point Injections for Pain

Musculoskeletal pain is a common complaint that many primary-care and pain providers diagnose and treat regularly. Treating pain with a multimodal approach is paramount in providing safe and effective results for patients. Trigger point injections can be an effective primary or adjunctive therapy aimed at decreasing pain in the musculoskeletal system. By targeting specific points of myofascial pain, clinicians can directly treat pathologic tissue, address a patient's pain generator, and break the pain cycle with little to no side effects. Patients can have significant improvement in range of motion and overall functionality, without the need for taking pain medications. Meaningful results can be provided with trigger point injections and should merit consideration as a treatment modality in the appropriate setting.

What Are Trigger Point Injections?

Trigger point injections can help to soothe muscle pain, especially in your neck, shoulders, and lower back. It also can be used to treat fibromyalgia, tension headaches and myofascial pain. Trigger points are painful "knots" in your muscles. They form when a muscle cannot relax. Sometimes when you rub your muscles, you can feel these knots. By injecting small amounts of anesthetic into the trigger point, you can help alleviate the pain.

What Is a Medial Branch Nerve Block?

A medial branch nerve block is an injectable medication that can prevent painful nerve signals from reaching the brain and therefore being perceived. These injections contain a nerve block medication; this anesthetizes the affected area and stops the brain from perceiving pain. In most cases, medial branch nerve blocks are diagnostic tools, although they can also provide temporary relief. Medial branch nerve blocks can be used in combination with other treatments, such as physical therapy, to provide longer-lasting relief.

How Does a Medial Branch Nerve Block Work?

A medial branch nerve block works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals responsible for pain. It achieves this by administering a local anesthetic and a corticosteroid; the local anesthetic provides instant relief, which can last for several hours, whereas the corticosteroid reduces inflammation and pain, which can produce pain-relieving results for multiple weeks. In most cases, a medial branch block is used as a diagnostic tool, to pinpoint the location and origin of the pain. However, these injections may also be used therapeutically for the amelioration of pain and inflammation.
