Myofascial Pain Syndrome

             Fibromyalgia is often confused with chronic Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS), a neuromuscular disorder with achiness in specific areas rather than body-wide as in FMS. It is easier to treat with massage, stretching, and exercise, or even trigger point injections
