Frequently Asked Questions
The exact cause is unknown. Research suggests fibromyalgia involves changes in how the brain and nervous system process pain. Genetics, illness, injury, physical stress, or emotional stress may contribute.
There is no single test for fibromyalgia. Diagnosis is based on widespread pain, fatigue, sleep problems, and other symptoms. Blood tests or imaging may be used to rule out other conditions.

Fibromyalgia does not usually cause inflammation or structural damage to muscles and joints. However, it may occur alongside arthritis or another painful condition.
Gentle, gradually increased activity may reduce pain and stiffness while improving strength, sleep, and energy. Exercise recommendations should be based on the patient’s abilities and symptoms.
