Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and heightened sensitivity to touch. It is thought to involve abnormal pain processing in the nervous system, often triggered by stress, trauma, or infections. Though it does not damage joints or muscles, symptoms can significantly impact daily life. Physiotherapy, exercise, and lifestyle modification are key in improving mobility, reducing pain, and enhancing quality of life.
Causes of Fibromyalgia:
- Abnormal pain processing in the central nervous system
- Genetic predisposition
- Physical or emotional trauma
- Infections or illness triggers
- Hormonal and stress-related imbalances
- Poor sleep and inactivity contributing to symptom flare-ups
Symptoms of Fibromyalgia:
- Widespread musculoskeletal pain
- Fatigue and low energy
- Non-restorative sleep and insomnia
- Cognitive issues (“fibro fog”)
- Sensitivity to pressure, light, or temperature
