Fibromyalgia is a condition that most often affects middle-aged women, although it can also occur in men and children. The most common symptoms include widespread muscle pain, fatigue, and multiple tender points.

Medications, lifestyle changes, and alternative therapies are treatment options that may help relieve pain associated with fibromyalgia.
