Fibromyalgia trigger points are specific points on the body that are associated with tenderness or pain in people with fibromyalgia. These points are commonly located in the muscles, tendons, and ligaments, and are usually found in predictable patterns. When pressure is applied to these points, it can cause pain, tenderness, and/or muscle spasms in people with fibromyalgia.
There are 18 recognized fibromyalgia tender points, which are located on both sides of the body in specific areas, such as the neck, back, hips, and legs. Fibromyalgia trigger points can be triggered by a variety of factors, including physical or emotional stress, lack of sleep, injury, and infection.
In addition to tender points, people with fibromyalgia may also experience widespread pain and fatigue, as well as other symptoms such as headaches, sleep disturbances, and irritable bowel syndrome. The exact cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, but it is thought to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Treatment for fibromyalgia typically involves a combination of medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications to help manage symptoms and improve overall quality of life.
