The Chronic Myofascial Pain video is no longer available. NOTE: New Nomenclature All material written by me after October 1, 2007, will have the following changes in nomenclature. I regret any confusion caused by this change, but deem it necessary due to the changes in our current understanding of the conditions involved. The abbreviation for myofascial trigger point, "TrP," is replaced by "MTP." The term Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) will no longer be used, as current research shows it is not a syndrome but a true myopathy, and thus a true disease. There are acute MTPs and chronic myofascial pain (CMP) due to MTPs. Where applicable, CMP will be separated into CMP Stage 1 (without central sensitization) and CMP Stage 2 (with central sensitization).

Support Groups Fibromyalgia Symptoms Fibromyalgia, or FMS for fibromyalgia syndrome, is a chronic disease affecting between 2 and 4% of the general population. Fibromyalgia Symptoms cause neuromuscular pain and general fatigue, and disturbs sleep and other daily activities. While the causes of FMS are unknown, and no "cure" has been developed, there are many effective ways to lessen the symptoms of FMS and help you to lead a more normal life. Fibromyalgia Symptoms are also characterized by tender spots. Those tender spots are felt particularly in the neck, spine, shoulders and hips. Fibromyalgia mainly affects muscles and their attachment to bones. Although it may feel like an arthritic joint disease, fibromyalgia is not a true form of arthritis and does not cause deformities of the joints. Instead, fibromyalgia is a form of muscular rheumatism causing muscle pain. There is no swelling involved and the joints are not often affected. But pain is felt in the muscles, ligaments or tendons.

Health Risk Assessments Medication Card Medication Checklist showLayer('mainNav'); Search Conditions Treatment Options Fibromyalgia (FM) How is it treated? Physicians treat FM with a combination of drugs that are used for other purposes. There are currently no medicines that cure the disease. Drugs commonly used for FM include: Treating Pain from FM Analgesics Analgesics or "pain relievers" interact with receptors in the body to stop the sensation of pain from various sources. Analgesic drugs vary in strength and addiction potential from over-the-counter Tylenol to stronger prescription medications such as propoxyphene/acetaminophen (Darvocet) and tramadol (Ultram). Although narcotic analgesics are prescribed for some FM patients with severe muscle pain, there is no evidence that narcotics are effective for treating chronic FM-associated pain. In addition, addiction and/or dependence may develop with the use of narcotic medications; so they should be used with caution in long-term treatment. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which are another type of pain reliever, can also be used to treat the symptoms of FM. NSAIDs, such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), and naproxen (Anaprox, Aleve) relieve pain and inflammation to help reduce muscle aches, menstrual cramps, and headaches associated with fibromyalgia.

Fibromyalgia Questions More FMS Questions FMS Treatment FMS Definitions ... Other Conditions A short rundown on Fibromyalgia Fibromyalgia is a painful, complex and perplexing medical condition. It is painful because it is characterized by stifness and tender points that occur in the muscle areas of the hips, shoulders, neck, and spine. It is complex because, in addition to causing general and specific pain, its symptoms include fatigue, difficulties with sleep, anxiety, and stomach related (gastrointestinal) problems. And, lastly, Fibromyalgia syndrome, or FMS, is perplexing because, while more light is being shed on this burdensome illness, the origin and basis for FMS is still unclear. Fibromyalgia Syndrome affects millions of people all over the world. Despite this fact, though, the condition is poorly understood and is not even fully accepted by all doctors, making the outlook for many individuals with FMS less favorable than might otherwise be the case. Fortunately, more information is coming to light on fibromyalgia syndrome and, over time, this may result in greater understanding of fibromyalgia and more effective treatment for FMS patients. A few basic facts Between 70% and 80% of FMS patients complain of painful muscle stiffness A Fibromyalgia diagnosis is sometimes based on having 11 out of 18 identifiable tender points Many patients with fibromyalgia have short term memory retention problems Patients are generally diagnosed with fibromyalgia between the ages of 20 and 60 Fibromyalgia is occasionally mistaken for lupus

SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY (SSD), SSI AND FIBROMYALGIA This information may help claimants with representation, as well as claimants who are not represented by an attorney or non attorney representative. Understanding how the Social Security Disability system works can make the difference between winning or not winning the continuing disability benefits and backpay to which a person is entitled. To win a claim for ongoing and past due benefits, claimants should learn about the disability process to improve their chances of winning ssi or ssd - ssdi benefits. At the moment, there is no entry in Social Security Disability 's Listing of Impairments manual for the condition known as Fibromyalgia, also known as fibromyositis and Myofacial Pain Syndrome (The disability listing's, of course, provide the approval criteria for a number of different impairments ranging from amputations to seizure disorder). Nevertheless, many claimants with fibromyalgia apply for disability, and many go on to win their cases. For this reason, the fibromyalgia disability claimant who's been denied should not give up on their case. Instead, they should pursue their disability claim through the appeals process, keeping in mind how the Social Security Administration views this particular impairment.
