Exercises and fibromyalgia



Fibromyalgia is a musculoskeletal disorder in which there is widespread pain in the different parts and joints in the body. Fibromyalgia is still today a medical mystery, and no confirmed cause and cure has been found for the disorder. There is in this condition pain all over and the person feels fatigued and exhausted without any obvious reason. The condition of this disease is also very difficult to diagnose because there are also other disorders that mimic the conditions of the disease. The incurable and mysterious disorder affects women more than men and the ratio has been 9:1. The disease is partially harmless in that that it is not life threatening and is found in two to five percent of the population. Individuals from twenty to sixty or seventy are at the risk of this disease. The drugs in this disease are used to relieve pain and are called antidepressants. Since this disease affects the muscles and the tissues in the body and makes them stiff and inflexible it is very necessary to keep the muscles in action so that they do not get short and stiff.

The medication:

The physician administers different treatments to patients of the FMS disease since the symptoms are different and the treatment needs to be individualized for every patient. The importance of exercises in the fibromyalgia condition is immense and it aggravates or lessens the symptoms of the disease. The doctor generally prescribes active and strengthening exercises for the patient. One must start with stretching exercises and moderately low-impact activity, like walking and bicycling. The exercises must be started in a moderate way one should not be hasty in going about it. There may be pain initially but it will vanish once one gets used to the habit. The exercises help the patient only when he does them regularly. Once the exercise is started one must keep going with them.

The walking exercise can be started by walking for five minutes for the first time and the walking duration should be increased by adding an extra minute in the daily exercise until one reaches to sixty minutes of walking in a day. When one is able to walk for sixty minutes it then should be increased to an hour of walking for at least three to five times a week. When one has reached the one hour goal of walking for three to five times a week one can do jogging and walking alternatively. The exercise of stationary bicycling is also most helpful in reducing the symptoms of fibromyalgia.
