What are the Symptoms of Fibromyalgia?
Those who have fibromyalgia experience pain throughout their body. Most patients describe the pain as an intense, radiating ache. The pain often increases when patients are active or stressed. It can even get worse during chilly or rainy weather. Most people report that their pain worsens as the day goes on. Since the pain is usually most severe at night, many people with fibromyalgia have a difficult time sleeping.
Fibromyalgia pain is widespread, which means that it occurs in all four quadrants of the body. Those who have fibromyalgia commonly experience tenderness in their back, neck, hips, feet, shoulders and knees. The body is sensitive to hard pressure, and the pain lasts for at least three consecutive months.
How do Medical Professionals Diagnose Fibromyalgia?
The body has 18 different tender spots that a docto rule out other causes of the pain and fatigue.
Cognitive Issues Associated with Fibromyalgia
Some fibromyalgia patients have cognitive issues. For example, some patients struggle to hot or cold temperatures. Fibromyalgia can even cause irritable bowel syndrome and other digestive problems.
Why Does Fibromyalgia Occur?
Scientists have yet to the brain.
Treating Fibromyalgia
Those who have a minor case of fibromyalgia can make their symptoms disappear. Studies have found that aerobic workouts help relieve pain associated with fibromyalgia. Some other options that can help include nutritional changes, antidepressants, pain medication, acupuncture and counseling.
Treatment usually requires a team approach. Besides the doctology clinic. Fibromyalgia can affect a person’s quality of life, which makes the treatment process essential. With the right resources, patients can fight the pain and fatigue they feel on a daily basis.
In this instance, an athlete was originally diagnosed with minor quadriceps muscle strain and was treated for four weeks, with unsatisfactory results. When he came to our clinic, the muscle was not healing, and the patients’ muscle tissue had already begun to atrophy.
Upon examination using MSUS, we discovered that he had a full muscle thickness tear that had been overlooked by his previous provider. To mitigate damage and promote healing, surgery should have been performed immediately after the injury occurred. Because of misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment, the patient now has permanent damage that cannot be corrected.
The most important advantage of Ultrasound over MRI imaging is its ability to zero in on the symptomatic region and obtain imaging, with active participation and feedback from the patient. Using dynamic MSUS, we can see what happens when patients contract their muscles, something that cannot be done with MRI. From a diagnostic perspective, this interaction is invaluable.
Dynamic ultrasonography examination demonstrating the full thickness tear and already occurring muscle atrophy due to misdiagnosis and not referring the patient to proper diagnostic workup
Demonstration of how very small muscle defect is made and revealed to be a complete tear with muscle contraction under diagnostic sonography (not possible with MRI)
Complete tear of rectus femoris with large hematoma (blood)
Separation of muscle ends due to tear elicited on dynamic sonography examination
