Fibromyalgia syndrome is a common and chronic disorder
characterised by widespread muscle pain, fatigue, and multiple
tender points. The word fibromyalgia comes from the Latin term for
fibrous tissue (fibro) and the Greek ones for muscle (myo) and pain
(algia). 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. Although fibromyalgia is often considered an
arthritis-related condition, it is not truly a form of arthritis (a
disease of the joints) because it does not cause inflammation or
damage to the joints, muscles, or other tissues. Like arthritis,
however, fibromyalgia can cause significant pain and fatigue, and
it can interfere with a person's ability to carry on daily
activities. Also like arthritis, fibromyalgia is considered a
rheumatic condition. This new book presents the latest research in
this field.
