Fibromyalgia, also known as widespread pain, is a chronic condition that causes pain all over the body, as well as other symptoms such as tenderness, fatigue, and sleep problems. It affects around 2 percent of American adults (around 4 million people). Some estimates suggest that approximately 5 percent of individuals may experience some level of fibromyalgia.
While the exact cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, effective treatment and management strategies are available.
