What Fibromyalgia Feels Like
Fibromyalgia produces widespread pain, disturbed sleep, and exhaustion from head to toe. Although the muscles hurt everywhere, they are not the only cause of your discomfort. Instead, the diffuse, body-wide symptoms are greatly magnified by malfunctions in the way the nervous system processes pain.Regional muscle pain also occurs in the majority of people with fibromyalgia symptoms. Patients experience firm knots in their muscles, often causing restricted movement and radiating pain. Recent research has found that 90 percent of the tender points used to diagnose fibro are actually myofascial trigger points.
