Fibromyagia is often secondary to a number of common problems, including muscle overload caused by poor posture, work duties that require repeated or sustained contractions, and stress. Without related disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia patients will have normal lab tests and no objective symptoms, such as joint swelling or limited range of motion. A patient with symptoms of fibromyalgia should be screened by a physician who specializes in treating the disorder, so that she can receive appropriate treatment and referrals as appropriate.
Some patients find that a well-run support group can provide significant therapeutic benefits.
