Since fibromyalgia is fairly new as a medical disorder, diagnoses methods and treatments are still being defined. The most current means of diagnoses is based on the patient’s report of three or more months of widespread pain. Also, the medical technician will discover points of pain or tenderness on eleven out of eighteen places on the body. These specific spots are around the neck, shoulders, hips, upper back, upper chest and buttocks, as well as certain joints.
