Fibromyalgia and Joint Pain

What is Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain and is accompanied by many symptoms. It is the second most common musculoskeletal condition after osteoarthritis. The symptoms and pain are often felt in localized areas of the body like the muscles and joints. Fibromyalgia is a condition that can affect a person physically, mentally, and emotionally. Symptoms can vary from person to person and fibromyalgia can be found in people of all ages, including children. According to the National Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain Association, approximately 10 million Americans suffer from the disease, with a ratio of 8 to 2 women over men. From a scientific perspective, it is seen as a chronic pain state in which the nerve stimuli that produce pain starts mainly in the tissues of the body. People with fibromyalgia essentially lack much of a pain threshold.

Symptoms and Care

The symptoms of fibromyalgia are widespread pain and tenderness to touch. Symptoms can vary in intensity and are experienced differently by each person. Other common symptoms include:

• fatigue
• sleep difficulties or disturbances
• cognitive difficulties (thinking clearly/memory problems)
• migraine headaches
• depression
• anxiety
• irritable or overactive bladder
• irritable bowel syndrome
• pelvic pain
• tension headaches

There is not a “magic bullet” for fibromyalgia, so an approach is often used that includes both conventional as well as alternative practices. Along with prescription medications that are approved for fibromyalgia, doctors often work with analgesic pain medications and anti-depressants. Alternative practices include physical therapy, biofeedback, massage therapy, meditation, and acupuncture as well as supplements and herbal remedies. Lifestyle changes, such as improving sleep, stress management, eating a balanced diet, and exercise have also been shown to improve fibromyalgia symptoms. Exercise in particular is very important. Patients who are in too much pain to do rigorous exercise should start slowly with walking, yoga or stretching and gradually build up from there. Once long term health goals are identified and a care plan is put into place you may experience a relief in symptoms and a decrease in flares.

How Fibromyalgia Can Impact Your Life

Fibromyalgia and its symptoms can range from mild to severe. The pain can come and go in waves. Experiencing fibromyalgia can make everyday life difficult and lead to depression. It's important that if you or someone you know is suffering from fibromyalgia that you seek medical help from your doctor and maintain a support system. This will make it easier to keep the condition under control and your life more manageable.
