Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a condition that affects muscles and their attachment to the bone, is most common in women and frequently occurs before menopause.

Fibromyalgia is characterised by stiffness and tenderness in the ligaments, tendons and muscles rather than in the joints, which is why fibromyalgia is considered a "soft tissue syndrome" rather than true arthritis.

Fibromyalgia causes:

  • widespread pain and tender points in the body
  • fatigue, disturbed sleep, stiffness and sometimes psychological distress
  • Sufferers "hurt all over" and may also experience muscle spasms.
  • Fibromyalgia literally means "muscle pain" and has been hard to distinguish from chronic fatigue syndrome.

    Fibromyalgia Symptoms

  • Widespread pain for more than 3 months.
  • Tenderness in the neck, shoulder, knee, elbow, or upper buttocks or thigh areas.
  • Trouble sleeping.
  • Tiredness in the morning or late in the day.
  • Mood changes and mild depression
  • Irritable bowel syndrome.
  • Headaches, sometimes migraines.
  • Numbness and tingling in hands, arms, feet, legs or face.
  • Abdominal pain.
  • Sensitivity to light or temperature.
  • Exercising with fibromyalgia

    One of the best things you can do if you have fibromyalgia is exercise.

  • Begin with stretching exercises and gentle, low-impact activity, such as walking or bicycling.
  • Start slowly because at the beginning exercise may make your pain worse.
  • Some muscle soreness is normal when you're starting.
  • Sharp pain may be a sign that you have overworked your muscles.
