Fibromyalgia Symptoms
What Are the Symptoms of Fibromyalgia?
Pain is the most common and chronic symptom of fibromyalgia. Pain may begin in one area of the body, such as the neck and shoulders, but eventually the entire body may become affected. The pain ranges from mild to severe and may be described as burning, soreness, stiffness, aching, or gnawing pain.
Fibromyalgia usually is associated with characteristic tender spots of pain in the muscles. The following are other common symptoms of fibromyalgia. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
- Moderate to severe fatigue
- Decreased exercise endurance
- Sleep problems at night
- Depressed mood
- Anxiety
- Headaches
- Abdominal pain and bloating
- Diarrhea, alternated with constipation
- Urinary urgency
The symptoms of fibromyalgia may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
