Fibromyalgia Pain

Fibromyalgia Pain? We’re Here to Help You Cope.

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition marked by widespread muscle pain, fatigue, and heightened sensitivity to touch. Unlike other pain types, its cause isn’t fully understood, but it’s linked to how the brain processes pain signals. At Florida Pain Medicine, we recognize the physical and emotional toll fibromyalgia takes and offer tailored strategies to help you manage it effectively.

Common Causes of Fibromyalgia Pain

•Abnormal pain processing: Overactive nerves amplify sensations.

•Stress: Physical or emotional stress often triggers flare-ups.

•Physical trauma: Injuries may initiate or worsen symptoms.

•Genetic predisposition: Family history increases risk.

•Sleep disturbances: Poor rest exacerbates pain perception.

•Infections: Certain illnesses may spark onset.

•Hormonal changes: Fluctuations can influence severity.

Treatment

Fibromyalgia treatment at Florida Pain Medicine focuses on symptom relief and improving function. Medications like duloxetine or milnacipran can balance brain chemicals to reduce pain, while low-dose antidepressants like amitriptyline improve sleep. We often incorporate physical therapy with gentle exercises—like stretching or aquatic therapy—to ease muscle stiffness without overexertion. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) helps manage stress and pain perception, a critical piece of the puzzle. For severe cases, we might use trigger point injections to release tender spots. Our team also emphasizes lifestyle changes, such as paced activity and relaxation techniques, to prevent flare-ups. Schedule a consultation today to see how we can support your fibromyalgia journey.
