The exact causes of fibromyalgia are unknown, but have been linked to things like automobile accidents, repetitive injuries, illness and certain diseases. However, it can also occur on its own without these factors. Some researchers believe it has a genetic factor.
There is currently no cure for fibromyalgia, however, symptoms can remain in check. It is important to find a physician who is very familiar with this condition as well as the treatments. A pain center or rheumatologist may be a good place to start with your diagnosis and treatment.
