What Is My Accident Case Worth If I Have Fibromyalgia?

What is Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a nervous system condition that affects how people feel in their joints. It is not a disease, in the sense that it is not inflammatory or affecting the autoimmune system of the sufferer. It can be triggered by a car accident or trauma to the body. People who have it experience pain, tenderness and pressure in the muscles and joints of the body. It can produce chronic pain, that will stay with the person for a long time after an accident. There is no cure for fibromyalgia.

People who experience fibromyalgia feel differently every day at times. They can feel that their chronic pain is getting better one day, then that it is much worse the next day. The reason that fibromyalgia is difficult to diagnose, is that it looks like many other illnesses. It can look like arthritis of the joints, or could resemble other soft tissue injuries. A medical professional will need to make the diagnosis of fibromyalgia, but if you have chronic never-ending pain after a car accident, you may have the experience of fibromyalgia.

Is Fibromyalgia Triggered by a Car Crash?

Yes, fibromyalgia can be triggered by serious physical trauma to the body. The difficulty in determining if a car accident was the trigger or not, is that fibromyalgia is actually very difficult to diagnose. People who have rheumatoid arthritis are more likely to develop fibromyalgia anyway. Therefore, can it be said that an accident started the process of fibromyalgia developing in a person’s body?

Yes, Fibromyalgia Can Be Triggered by a Car Accident!

The body is an incredibly capable machine, that works to repair itself, if at all possible, in every trauma or difficult to understand physical force situation. When a person’s body undergoes a car accident, there are many types of traumatic forces that hit the body all at once. The person is pushed forward in the vehicle, then slammed back or sideways on impact. The person’s head can sustain an injury, and arms or legs can be broken or have soft tissue injuries as well. These are the accident-related stressors that can trigger or bring on the condition of fibromyalgia.

Is the Experience of Fibromyalgia the Same for Everyone?

That is actually a very good question. The answer being “No,” the experience of fibromyalgia is going to be different for everyone who is affected with this condition. Remember, it is a trauma to the body that causes it to flare up, and it may stay in the person’s system for days, weeks, or months, subside or get worse, anything can occur. The three drugs that are approved to treat fibromyalgia are:

1. Duloxetine (Cymbalta)
2. Milnacipran (Savella)
