What is fibromyalgia, which you often hear today, perhaps many of you experience, and is painful and reduces your quality of life, and is there an analysis of this problem?
Fibromyalgia is a soft tissue rheumatism characterized by general muscle aches and chronic pain at certain points in the body. The underlying cause of persistent back and neck pain and occasional leg pain may be fibromyalgia. So what separates these pains from mechanical pain? Fibromyalgia is accompanied by various physical and mental symptoms such as fatigue, insomnia and depression. Patients often experience prolonged and shifting pain, fatigue, decrease in sleep quality, and pessimistic mood.
FIBROMYALGIA IS MORE COMMON IN WOMEN.
Fibromyalgia syndrome, which is common in society, is 8-10 times more common in women than in men. Although the cause is not known exactly, it is estimated that it is triggered by the emergence of genetic and environmental factors. The biggest factor here is that women’s muscle and hormonal structure are weaker than men.
