It results in an amplified perception of pain, even when there is no apparent injury or identifiable cause.<\/p>\n<p>It primarily affects women, but can also impact men and children, regardless of their background or lifestyle.<\/p>\n<h2>Main symptoms<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Widespread and variable pain affecting different areas of the body<\/li>\n<li>Persistent and significant fatigue<\/li>\n<li>Non-restorative sleep disturbances<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to these symptoms, some individuals report hypersensitivity, memory and concentration difficulties, or gastrointestinal issues. These symptoms can reduce quality of life and may have negative psychological impacts.<\/p>\n<p>Symptoms vary from person to person based on stress levels, sleep quality, physical activity, and environmental factors. Pain intensity and location may change from day to day.<\/p>\n<h2>Why am I in pain with fibromyalgia?<\/h2>\n<p>Fibromyalgia is associated with a neurophysiological dysregulation that affects how pain signals are transmitted and interpreted by the brain. The pain experienced is very real, even in the absence of visible damage or identifiable causes.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, a physical or emotional shock, such as an accident, infection, or surgery, may act as a trigger. For others, the condition develops gradually without a clear cause.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information and resources, visit the website of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sqf.quebec\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quebec Fibromyalgia Association<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn-calendrier-contenu condition\" href=\"https:\/\/reservation.physioextra.ca\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"nul\">Book an appointment<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":15372,"template":"","class_list":["post-15375","condition","type-condition","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Fibromyalgia: Causes, Symptoms and Treatments | PhysioExtra<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Fibromyalgia?
