How do I know if I have fibromyalgia and who treats it near me?

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition that typically includes:

• Widespread pain (not just one joint)
• Fatigue, poor sleep, “brain fog”
• Increased sensitivity to touch/pressure
• Symptoms that wax and wane, often worsened by stress or poor sleep

There’s no single definitive test—diagnosis is based on patterns of symptoms, exam findings, and ruling out other causes (thyroid issues, inflammatory arthritis, nerve disorders, etc.).

At Medici, fibromyalgia is often managed through a combination plan:

• Medication management aimed at safer long-term control
• Physical therapy and graded activity
• Sleep and lifestyle strategies
• Treating overlapping pain generators (neck/back issues, myofascial pain, nerve irritation)

If you suspect fibromyalgia, start with an evaluation at the nearest clinic so we can look at the full picture and build a realistic plan.
