no but I've attempted to treat enough of em to know it's basically a crock of ****.
Here's how we diagnose: we tell people they have a collection of signs and symptoms that point to something specific. Even if we KNOW what their problem is, technically we can't come out and tell them. We let the physicians do that. But as I've said, fibromyalgia is never the first thing a physician looks for. It's the last resort label when they can't figure out what the hell else could be wrong.
So let's try a case stud...
Patient A: Tears Rhombodoideus major/minor, from the bone. Tears of latissimus dorsi muscle, and Thoracolumbar fascia with significant tears.
Surgery performed to reattach Rhombodoideus major/minor, by drilling holes (3) in shoulder blade and weaving muscle and sewing. During surgery significant nerves were severed to reattach muscles.
Patient was correctly diagnosed and underwent surgery 8 months after injury. Patient completed 1 year of physical therapy with little gains in strength, range of motion.
Post surgery issues, muscle spasms (full body), loss of feeling (should/back) , cold to touch (shoulder/arm)
Treatment, pain management trigger injections, nerve block.
Aside from 8 months of mis-diagnosis, is the pain and neurological issues all in the patients head?
This isn't a right or wrong and not trying to "show you up" or anything like that. Honestly want your opinion.
