Muscle Spasms, Fibromyalgia and PPS 

Original Post:  Is there a connection between PPS and fibromyalgia? I had polio in 1947 and have now developed painful neck spasms which four different doctors have called "stress".  Nothing seems to help except Extra-Strength Tylenol, which is just temporary.

Dr. Bruno’s Response: “Fibromyalgia” is just a fancy name for muscle spasm pain (like you are describing). Stress, overuse and painful posture – plus pinched nerves – cause muscle spasm and pain.

The cause of spasm and pain should be diagnosed before your symptoms get a “fancy name” and you're sent away with Tylenol.
