Fibromyalgia

The name fibromyalgia is made up from "fibro" for fibrous tissues such as tendons and ligaments: "my" indicating muscles; and "algia", meaning pain. It is the commonest cause of chronic, widespread pain in muscles and joints affecting about 2% of the population (female to male ratio 9:1).
