The authors outline how fibromyalgia may be misdiagnosed in post-surgical patients and veterans that present with generalized forms of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
Key takeouts
-
There is a strong association between fibromyalgia and CRPS.
-
The utilization of interventional procedures such as epidural steroid injections or sympathetic nervous system ganglion blocks were superior treatment options.
-
There is a correlation between surgery/trauma and the development of fibromyalgia. However, it is unclear what perioperative environments may predispose a patient to the disease state.
