That’s 4 million Americans who suffer from pain, every day. Fibromyalgia is a condition that causes abnormal pain processing, meaning, people suffering from fibromyalgia have a lower pain tolerance than those who don’t. It can cause permeating pain across the whole body. There is no current known causes or treatments. But what can be done?
