Diagnosis Fibromyalgia is very difficult to
diagnose, as the symptoms keep varying and there
could be other disorders. The symptoms are very
much similar to other conditions like
hypothyroidism or rheumatoid arthritis. There is
no specific X-ray or blood tests or scans to
confirm fibromyalgia. The diagnosis of
fibromyalgia was made based on the specific
tender points in certain parts of your
body. Earlier some miscellaneous points were used
to diagnose the condition, but now it is no
longer recommended to diagnose fibromyalgia.
Miscellaneous points "Miscellaneous points or
Tender points are the definite areas of the body
where fibromyalgia causes severe pain. The areas
includes back of the head, inner knees, and outer
elbows. The pain passes on to neck and shoulders,
the outer hips, and the upper

chest. Doctors analyze fibromyalgia based on the
heaviness at these points. However, this method
is not practiced to diagnose the condition
anymore. Instead of precise areas, fibromyalgia
is recognized by the harshness and chronic nature
of the pain.
