I went to a pain seminar two springs ago...one hour was devoted to the new information on Fibro.
Trigger points are no longer used for diagnosis.
Dr. Clauw who gave the lecture said medical doctors are being
educated not to do trigger pt injections or tests anymore.
Fibro is considered a central pain syndrome, which may be triggered by peripheral trauma or pain (arthritis) and even vaccines. It has to do with pain perception in the brain and is thought to be genetic. The metaphor given is that it is similar to keeping volume very high on a radio.
