Fibromyalgia or fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic disorder that causes skin, muscles, and joints pain. The exact cause of FMS is unknown, but scientists feel that people with FMS have a heightened sensitivity to pain, so they feel pain when others do not. Learn about the 8 types of fibromyalgia pain.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder often indicated by random pain in different parts of the body and identified by several tender points known as fibromyalgia tender points. Fibromyalgia makes a person severely sensitive to pain, reduces the threshold of bearing pressure, and may make them feel more hurt from a small degree of touch or pain compared to someone not diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
