Can morphea and fibromyalgia have any relation?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Usually no: Morphea usually only involves skin. However in rare cases morphea can have an effect on muscles. Morphea is thought to be caused by a reaction to an underlying low grade infection.A complete work up looking for muscle involvement - myosotis is necessary if there are symptoms of fibromyalgia, associated with morphea.

Morphea: Chronic muscle pain and other symptoms of fibromyalgia is not well understood. Morphea is a chronic dermal scarring process and there are theories about a possible infectious cause. It tends to involve the dermis not the muscles.
