About Fibromyalgia in Chennai

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive difficulties often described as 'fibro fog'. It is thought to involve abnormal pain processing in the central nervous system, causing the brain to amplify normal pain signals. The condition does not cause visible tissue damage or inflammation but can be significantly disabling due to persistent widespread pain and exhaustion. It is more common in women and often coexists with other chronic pain conditions.
