πΏ Widespread Pain is Real β and Treatable πΏ
Widespread Pain, often seen in conditions like fibromyalgia, affects the entire body and is linked with fatigue, sleep issues, and mood disturbances due to central nervous system dysregulation.
π Are Sympathetic Blocks the Answer?
Not usually. These injections are not standard for widespread pain and are only considered in very select cases where a clear regional, sympathetically-maintained pain component is present.
β
What Actually Works?
Evidence-based first-line management includes:
β’ Patient education & understanding the condition
β’ Graded aerobic exercise (walking, swimming)
β’ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
β’ Medications such as duloxetine, milnacipran, or pregabalin
Sympathetic blocks have a narrow role in true widespread pain syndromes. Always consult a qualified pain specialist and begin with proven, multidisciplinary treatment approaches.
