Book an appointment Fibromyalgia Treatment
Fibromyalgia causes pain in your muscles and joints throughout your body. It can also make you feel tired and cause mental symptoms like memory problems. Experts don't know what causes fibromyalgia — and there's no cure for it — but a healthcare provider will help you find treatments to manage your symptoms.
What is fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a long-term (chronic) health condition that causes pain and tenderness throughout your body. It causes musculoskeletal pain and fatigue.
People with fibromyalgia usually experience symptoms that come and go in periods called flare-ups. Sometimes, it can feel exhausting and challenging to navigate living with fibromyalgia. The peaks and valleys between feeling good and suddenly having a flare-up of symptoms can feel overwhelming. Fibromyalgia is real, and so is how you feel.
Experts don’t know what causes fibromyalgia, but studies have found that certain health conditions, stress and other changes in your life might trigger it. You might be more likely to develop fibromyalgia if one of your biological parents has it.
