Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition with pain frequently involving the neck and back. The pain of fibromyalgia is widespread with multiple and specifically located tender points.
Women tend to be affected with fibromyalgia more than men, with the onset of symptoms in the 20's and 30's.
Fibromyalgia is often misdiagnosed lending to unnecessary medical treatment, emotional distress and frustration.
Predisposing factors for fibromyalgia have been linked to physical trauma, psychological stress, history of abuse and genetics.
Other conditions may be associated with fibromyalgia including chronic fatigue, sleep disturbance, myofascial pain, irritable bladder syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome and cognitive dysfunction.
