If you have widespread chronic pain in your muscles, ligaments and tendons, you may be suffering from fibromyalgia.

Fatigue and multiple tender points on the body might also occur. Fibromyalgia symptoms can begin after a trauma, but in most cases there appears to be no specific cause. To be considered widespread, the pain must be on both sides of the body and above and below your waist.

Fibromyalgia pain occurs in response to things like touch and stress that are normally not perceived as painful. It is thought that the brains of those with fibromyalgia may be hypersensitive and have disturbances in how pain is felt. People with fibromyalgia also have disturbed sleep which may explain the common symptoms of waking up fatigued and unrefreshed.
