The hidden source of fibromyalgia pain: fascia

Most doctors don't know that fibromyalgia pain originates in the fascia. Myofascial inflammation and pathologic levels of muscle tension are the trigger for the central sensitization and immune system problems seen in fibromyalgia. Fascia-directed therapies are key to finding effective fibromyalgia pain relief.
This video summarizes my research journal article which you can find here: www.bodyworkmovementtherapies...

About me: I graduated from Tufts University School of Medicine and am board-certified in internal medicine. After developing fibromyalgia in medical school I was able to find integrative treatments that helped me feel much better. In my videos I hope to inspire everyone dealing with #fibromyalgia to remember they are #fibrofierce!

I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and because of you I was armed with better information to give him to help me. I will be ordering your book next pay day. He moved my diagnosis from fibromyalgia to severe fibromyalgia and I'm being referred to a rheumatologist that I researched that deals with fibro patients and I have started the process of applying for disability as I haven't been able to teach voice lessons in two years. Hand cramps, back cramps, fatigue, and the brain fog that stops me mid-sentence while instructing and completely lose what I was saying or worse... I can't read my sheet music (very embarrassing and frustrating) I can't thank you enough for posting these videos and educating me so that maybe I can get back some of my life.

Fabulous info! I’m a RMT, practicing 20 years and specializing in Structural Myofascial Therapy and chronic pain management. I’ve seen how much pain relief slow, specific myofascial therapy can provide. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 22 years ago about 18/months after a serious car accident. Myofascial therapy can benefit everyone, but especially those with fibromyalgia. Thankfully there is so much more research and validation of this invisible excruciating condition.

Thank you so much for posting these videos and writing your book The Fibro Manual. You are the only doctor I have found who has this knowledge and I am so grateful to you! I go for myofascial release massages every 3 weeks as it significantly reduces my pain. I recently went to a functional medical doctor. I brought your book hoping we could make a plan, instead his ego was bruised because he interpreted that I was meaning he was not as knowledgeable as you and got into quite a tantrum. I have had so many bad experiences with doctors. So, if not for you I would be completely lost. I am trying how to figure out how to get deep sleep but have had no luck so the fatigue and brain fog disable me so I can’t live a normal life. Thank you again for all you do for those of us suffering with Finromyalgia.

Yay thanks for posting on Fibromyalgia. If you could also make a video on Myofascial Pain Syndrome & on that tiny organ that connects the fascia to the bone. I believe it’s called the Enthesis & feels like tiny extremely white hot & painful to the touch ropes along the bones. I can’t find much info on this in any literature. I’ve been researching since my disability in 2016. Doctors really don’t know much on anything around fascia. Luckily I’m able to still get opioid pain medication so I can get out of bed & at least use both my hands & arms to feed myself or take a shower. I can do more then about 10 things a day before the fascia in my forearms & hands completely seize up 🤷‍♀️ Thank you so much for fighting for us here in Oregon when a group in the gov was trying to get opioids out of the schedule for back pain. This group was made of acupuncturists, NA doctors & the like. Without opioid pain medication I would be able to feed or bathe myself but most have know idea how debilitating this pain is or how the fascia will just seize up.

@@FindingHolm I understand your pain my traps, scapula, shoulder biceps triceps and firearms muscles all ache, to the point I feel the attachments of ligaments to the bone, if I turn my forearm I can feel the two bones move and thus in-turn the ligaments move and create more pain. I get sensation that are worse than most people describe, they talk of pins and needles I wish I had that, instead it feels like prickly heat. The funny part is I can get sunburnt so bad that I won’t even feel it on my arms or back. Opiates we’re terrible for me, my tolerance always goes high. At one stage I was morphine 150mg up to twice a day. So far I’ve experimented on myself with HGH, Peptides, TRT all having incredible results. Unfortunately these aren’t legal treatments in my country. Peptides are, however they’re very expensive. Vitamin IV infusions worked wonders however again too expensive. Cortisone works wonders however too many and atrophy will occur. I’m going to be hopefully trying a ketamine cream soon. Hopefully that will help. Most of the data seems to be done for women as most fibromyalgia patients are women.

This makes so much sense! I am crying in relief just to have answers, because I am severely impacted by fibromyalgia, to the point where I am disabled, and went on gov't disability without being denied (and having to appeal) and no other diagnosis. That was in 2000. All this time I am so frustrated by the lack of answers and treatment! Since then I have developed other conditions, but the worst is still the fibromyalgia. Just having explanations gives me hope. There is a Dr. using ultrasound in brains to break up Alzheimer plaque in the brain, with astounding results. I wonder if it would be useful on the excess collagen in our fascia and muscles?

Thank you for your dedication to sharing your knowledge & experience. I follow you closely. Wondering if you are also aware that some of us seem to have a B12/folic acid deficiency connection. I’ve struggled with these deficiencies for years with no medical explanation. The deficiency symptoms overlap with fibro/CFS symptoms. Mine can be quite severe but don’t always show up as anemia on labs. Had to test directly for active B12 & FA levels to figure it out. I now do self-injections 2xweekly & my levels stay high. It gives me not complete, but significant pain relief. But if I pause for even a month the Fibro pain returns like sledgehammer - even tho my lab levels stay high. There are studies published on the connection, but would love to hear your perspective.
@DrGinevra

I have been a fibromyalgia sufferer for years. Your breakdown of fibromyalgia is meaningful and accurately depicted. The information in your videos bring me so much comfort 1 because your a fybro warrior yourself and 2ndly because validating the existence of the condition with scientific reasoning n findings helps sufferers like myself feel validated. I have lost my ability to work due to the chronic debilitating symptoms associated with this condition . My muscle pain is so intense even when i use aids such as lidocaine patches, bio freeze, zanaflex epsom salt baths. I have recently filed for disability as it is nearly impossible to do things for myself without exacerbating my condition . I pray that the study in search for more answers for this condition continues to grow. I have forgotten what it feels like to live a pain free life but videos such as these keep me hopeful that more findings, newer treatments and more medical awareness from medical professions are near . Thank you for your stellar explanations and advocating on behalf of all fybro sufferers your work is needed 💜

This video caught my eye though I am not a fibromyalgia patient, I have polyneuropathy, mixed fiber, and knew that some believed there may be some similarities, however few or many, between the two. I read both studies but neither says anything about fascia muscles and of course they state: Conclusion The results show that increased muscle pressure may be a significant cause of pain in FMS, and the etiology of the pain may have a large peripheral component in addition to a centralized origin of the pain. So, it seems to say that increased muscle pressure (the first cited study used the shoulder blade muscles, 2nd study uses already diagnosed fibromyalgic connective tissue) as well as some chemical imbalances may be contributing factors in the two origin theories of fibromyalgia noted above, but that this invites further study as it makes no definite conclusion on a specific cause of fibromyalgia. At least that seems to be the scientific view from the studies you cite, except your own, which I could not figure out how to look, at the cited material. But I'm curious how of the studies I've looked at, none other than yours has come to such a specific conclusion. Even the Mayo Clinic say in so many words, Myofascial Therapies may be as effective spine manipulation and deep massages (April 23, 2023). I have run across a couple fibromyalgia patients when I see my neurologist once a year, though they tend to be severe cases, which maybe outside of the scope of your theory? Or not? I have large fiber neuropathy in my hands, arse, ankles, feet and toes, all of which are starting into advanced stages. Half my toes are numb and I cannot feel them anymore and now I must be care and pickup drinking glasses with two hands as sometimes my right hand will drop it because I've suddenly lost the feeling of it (it's weird as hell!). Luckily I still have my left for my cane. I have small fiber neuropathy from the neck through the feet and have had 3 cores taken, all showed damaged small fiber nerves. I wasted 2 years at Mayo's neurology dept. taking $27K USD worth of tests just for them to say we don't know, come back, in 6 months. Ha! I found a neurologist closer to my house, who spent 45 minutes with (with only straight medicare!) me and his hammer and pointed stick and said you have large fiber neuropathy, we will keep talking and get your gp to obtain a bunch of (they used 11 tubes) blood draws to see if we can fine a reason but he said many times a cause is not found. Nothing happened around the time, I just went get off the bed to head to the bathroom and fell to the floor because the first and second step felt like 3" pieces of broken glass shoved up through the bottom of both feet. I was fine I second, and ajorly "f"d up the next. About 6-9 months later drying off out of the shower felt Iike 40grit sandpaper and picking up a spoon felt like I was sleeping a handful of razorblades in the palms and individual blades slicing the inside of my fingers. It accelerated quickly, again fine bloodwork and organ functions. But now I am bedridden and sleep 16-18 hours a day (the heavy fatigue is very recent) and only on my sides. I have to take a very large dose of gabapentin, mexiletine for the additional harsh hand pain, as well as the next best thing to morphine, all so I can get up and eat a meal with my family, or I pop an extra dr. feelgood (my pain doc gives me x at extra each month for this kind of purpose) and my wife and I went to a small mall nearby and went to a couple shops and sat in the shade and light breeze and relaxed. Things like this people don't care much about, but for me, even the 1½ hour out with my with is a treasure to me. I have tried many non-medical therapies and such, but at least in my case, they don't and will never work. Everything my neurologist told me years ago that could happen on the more negative side has/is happening and that's okay. There is a new drug in trials now or upcoming that they believe be able to repair damage mylienated (large fiber) nerves. That would be great especially for my hands. Anyway, I'm off topic, but I'm interested if you could cite any other studies working or peer reviews of your published study. I'm apparently not too bright when it comes wor,ING around those open source sites. Medical or therapeutic, I'm always interested in any topic that may have some crossover to mine, even if minor. I have lots of free time! 😊

While people keep on telling me my pain didn't have an underlying cause. I have believed for 20 years that if so many people have the same symptoms it must have causes. Thanks for providing answers and puzzle pieces. I have heard that genes can play a role in it to, and I have heard that people with fybromialga often not have effective results from surtain painkillers. I have, now you finally can make a genetic profile let myself tested, and I have a gene mutation with couses my liver not to break down sertan compounds of the painkillers. I was wondering if there are more fybromialgia patients who has bin tested for this, and if more people have this gen mutation.

I began having symptoms after severe COVID which attacked my spine with stabbing pain worse than natural childbirth ever was! I suspect COVID was a trigger.

Has anyone had any luck using massage chairs?One in the 2k range. I recently sat in one for a short time and have to admit it did feel good, but what an expense for something that parks in your living room like a Cadillac (jk). I had a leg break two yrs ago and a meniscus, mcl surgery 6 months ago. From walking cock-eyed with the braces etc. I can’t get my hips and many other musculature parts to move correctly anymore. These things become a domino effect. Any idea? Thank you 😊

Could it be that it is caused by a Salicylate sensitivity. It is present in vegetables, fruit, toiletry and cosmetics. It cumulates in the body and causes physical and mental problems.

Have there been any studies done on fascia as pertaining to anti-fgfr3 antibodies developing in some people with small fiber polyneuropathy?
@DrGinevra
@DrGinevra 4 месяца назад
I can’t find any studies on fascia and anti-fgfr3 , but would be really interesting. Small fiber neuropathy occurs in 40-50% of fibromyalgia patients. Would be good to look for that antibody in fibromyalgia.

@@DrGinevra there are now many other known antibodies associated with small fiber neuropathy - including anti-fgfr3....ts-hds....anti-plexin-d1......MX1, DBNL, and KRT8 are additional antibodies associated....so....how do we find a researcher to do this work?

Can stellate ganglion blocks be helpful in calming down pain?

They can be helpful temporarily in regional areas of pain, but don’t help with the widespread pain.

So would taking collagen powder actually increase my fibro pain? I try everything in hopes of something working and I read collagen can reduce pain so I am confused.

Exactly, what I'm wondering too, having just drank my collagen supplement.....🤔
@DrGinevra
@DrGinevra 3 месяца назад
In future videos I will be more clear about it because definitely confusing. Taking collagen supplements in fibro is not harmful, maybe even helpful. The problem in fibro fascia is really excess inflammation that overproduces collagen, and increases frequency of collagen cross links which makes sticky fascia. More collagen in the diet doesn’t make sticky fascia.

Can drinking collagen supplement make your fibromyalgia pain worse?
@DrGinevra
@DrGinevra 4 месяца назад
No collagen doesn’t seem to have negative effects in fibromyalgia. It’s really the inflammation in the body driving the process of laying down extra collagen, not the amount of collagen in our body.

After following my neurologist's recommended treatment plan, which involved 12 vitamin B12 injections, 50 doses of pregabalin, and adopting a processed food-free diet, I, a 21-year-old man, have experienced a significant 75% relief from Fibromyalgic pain. Considering these positive outcomes, I am now considering the potential addition of low-dose naltrexone for continued pain management. What are your recommendations regarding incorporating low-dose naltrexone into my ongoing treatment plan?

I am so glad you have found so much relief. I can't give you specific medical advice, but I think LDN is worth discussing with your doctor for sure!

I’m taking a collagen powder every day. Is this okay?
@DrGinevra
@DrGinevra 3 месяца назад
Yes, collagen powder is fine to take. It’s not the amount of collagen in our bodies that is the problem, it’s the inflammatory and neurological processes that cause collagen to be laid down incorrectly in the fascia that is the problem.

Thank you so much. In light of this, are floor exercises a bad idea? I wanted to try them because walking causes horrible foot and leg pain afterward, but calisthenics won’t make anything bear full body weight, and anything increasing blood flow (heat, my arthritis exercises) seems to ease pain. I don’t know what is different about walking and other chores when I’m overdoing it, that lead to pain. But shoulder exercises feel good for a day.

I realize this doesn't address your question about floor exercise, but if you have access to a warm water pool and funds to go (or parks and recreation funding for low income people) in your area, walking in a warm water pool may be helpful. It is at very least, relaxing. You can also look up pool exercises for chronic pain and/or arthritis. Using foam pool 'weights', like those used in aquafit type classes, can help create even more resistance.

Why isnt the inflammation test able to pick up our chronic inflammation? Is it because their marker was set too high?
@DrGinevra
@DrGinevra 3 месяца назад
It's because the type of inflammation seen in fibromyalgia is not the type that shows up in the common lab tests used to assess for inflammation.
@yvonneleng3830

@drginevra So after we are diagnosed with fibro, is there any proper way I can propose to my doc to run the tests for our kind of inflammation? Because I find the inflammation is really bothering me a lot. Really thank u for replying me anyway

​@@yvonneleng3830 A true diagnostic lab test would be a godsend, even in absence of any "cure" or widely effective treatment. Something to show your doctor there is in fact something physiologically wrong. Many of us get blown off that it's all in our head, we're just lazy, malingering, depressed, etc. I would be thrilled if even a standard lab test would be developed.
