Were you looking for information about Fibromyalgia? Fibromyalga is a common misspelling of fibromyalgia.
Fibromyalgia, a condition that affects as many as 1 in every 50 people, is characterized by widespread muscle pain, fatigue, and multiple tender points. Tender points are specific places on the body -- on the neck, shoulders, back, hips, and upper and lower extremities -- where people with fibromyalgia feel pain in response to slight pressure.
While the exact cause of this condition is unknown, many researchers currently believe that fibromyalgia centers around possible problems with how the central nervous system processes pain. Treatment options for fibromyalgia can include lifestyle changes, medications, and complementary or alternative treatments.
