ABOUT Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a common cause of chronic pain in today’s world. According to the American College of Rheumatology, around 1 in 50 Americans suffer from fibromyalgia. Since it is chronic in nature, it can last for months to even years and is difficult to diagnose.
CAUSES OFFibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia presents itself, in most cases, after a traumatic event such as physical trauma, a major surgery, infection, or even significant psychological stress. Chronic inflammation within the body is also a major cause of fibromyalgia. In other cases, fibromyalgia symptoms gradually accumulate over time with no single triggering event.
RISK FACTORS
Women are more likely to develop fibromyalgia than men. People at risk include those who have or had had anxiety, depression, a major surgery, infection, or physical trauma.

While there is no real cure for fibromyalgia, managing fibromyalgia symptoms is super important. Many people with fibromyalgia can keep their symptoms at bay with exercise and using stress-reduction measures.
