One theory as to the cause of fibromyalgia that is gaining acceptance is that a trauma or significant stressor turns on an individual’s “fight-or-flight” response.
Fibromyalgia pain affects the skeletal muscles, ligaments, and tendons in the body. Pain can also be felt in the bursa, the sacs that surround your joints providing nutrition and lubrication needed for movement.
Fibromyalgia is a common condition of body-wide pain and tender points in joints, muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues. It is a rheumatologic disorder It’s causes are chronic pain in the muscles, tendons and ligaments.
It has been diagnosed that sleep disturbances may actually cause the condition. A theory suggests that the disorder may be associated with changes in skeletal muscle metabolism, possibly caused by decreased blood flow, which could cause chronic fatigue and weakness.
