Brief Answer:
Fibromyalgia needs mapping of the trigger points

Detailed Answer:
Hi there.

Thanks for the query.

Post traumatic pain cannot tell if it is Fibromyalgia.

Avoid bending forwards or lifting weights. Apply ice. Take pain killers. Once you are fine in 5 days, do get examined by your Doctorto find out if you have Fibromyalgia because there needs to be 9 trigger points of muscle spasm regions which need to be mapped out.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Dr. Aashish Raghu
