Fibromyalgia Diagnosis

There are two factors that are required in order for a doctor to make an official Fibromyalgia diagnosis. First, the patient must experience widespread pain in all four quadrants of the body for a minimum of three months. Secondly, the patient must exhibit at least eleven of the eighteen recognized “tender points” in the neck, shoulders, lower back, buttocks, elbows and knees. This is an imperfect system of Fibromyalgia diagnosis, however, since symptoms in any given patient can vary from day to day.
