Fibrositis.
Fibrositis is a common clinical syndrome characterized by diffuse musculoskeletal pain and multiple tender points on physical examination. The symptoms wax and wane but do not produce severe disability. Although no single treatment is curative, a comprehensive program of patient education, drug therapy and appropriate physical activity is beneficial in many patients.
