Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a chronic, disabling condition that affects around 12 million people in the United States. If you’re reaching the end of your endurance trying to cope with fibromyalgia pain, the experienced pain management team led by Dr. Bootstaylor at Life Balance Pain Care (LBPC) can help. With their expertise, you can find ways to manage your fibromyalgia with treatments personalized to your lifestyle and individual needs.

What is fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a condition that causes widespread chronic pain throughout the whole body. If you have fibromyalgia, you may feel constant pain and discomfort in muscles and connective tissues, as well as chronic fatigue and other symptoms, including problems sleeping, headaches, and depression.

Another typical symptom is sometimes referred to as “fibro fog,” which causes sufferers to have difficulties concentrating or remembering things.

Pain associated with untreated fibromyalgia can interfere with your ability to function well at your job. It can also lead to anxiety or depression.

If you've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia or suspect you have it, contact pain management specialists at LBPC to schedule an appointment.
