A member asked:
Define fibrositis of spine / shoulder blade ? gp said it can last a long time. is itpart of degenerative disease and is it more common with women ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Just a fancy term: Yes, your GP is right that the condition is part of the degenerative process. You should learn to live with this reality by knowing how to minimize pain with physical therapy and regular exercise, heat, massage, acupuncture etc. This will hopefully minimize your need and resultant dependence on pain meds. Hope you feel better.
