Specializes in Pain Management

Fibromyalgia: To be included in the diagnosis of FM, this pain should be located in at least three out of four quadrants of the body or along the entire spine, and must be present for a minimum of three months. Patients with FM have diffuse chronic pain without evidence of any systemic disorder. Neurological examination is normal, objective muscle weakness is not present and laboratory evaluation is normal.

Likely reverse: Many patients labeled as having fibromyalgia, have been discovered to instead, possess a small fiber neuropathy. Typically, this does start in feet. Fibromyalgia does NOT cause neuropathy.
