Fibromyalgia can also be caused by trauma. They are now saying that this is the main cause of my chronic pain that's lasted two-and-a-half years after my accident.

My grandmother actually has a more debilitating form of the condition called polymyalgia. It is way more extensive and crippling. She is homebound and must use a scooter when she gets out anywhere.

It really sucks. I am glad to hear someone referring to it on here. Most of the time no one knows what it is, so I just have to say that I am having back/neck/shoulder pain.
