The symptoms of Fibromyalgia and Myofascial Pain Syndrome are basically the same: muscle pain, fatigue, anxiety, irritability and even Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Some believe that Myofascial Pain Syndrome is actually at the root of Fibromyalgia. Studies of Myofascial Release Therapy(MFR) on those with Fibromyalgia have backed up this idea with repeated studies showing that MFR greatly reduces Fibromyalgia symptoms and can have a positive impact up to six months after treatment has ended.

∙ 10y agoTo a large degree, yes. Which diagnosis and what treatment you receive will depend largely on the type of medical professional that you report your symptoms to. Most doctors will treat the symptoms in both cases - muscle pain, disturbed sleep. Physical therapists and other alternative medicine practioners will likely take more time to try to treat the underlying cause - the tightness in the fascia.
