A member asked:

Is it rare to get fibromyalgia after gall bladder surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It is rare but possible after any surgical procedure. The root cause of the fm syndrome is not known. However it is often seen after an event that causes physical or mental stress. That would include injuries, surgery, any other major illness and psychological trauma.
