Explains the developmental process of fibromyalgia and demonstrates the hands-on protocol of full-body massage for patients with fibromyalgia.
Clinical symptoms
The main clinical symptom is pain that increases: at night, during deep breathing, when the head is bent and turned to the unaffected side, and when the arm is abducted. The pain spreads to the shoulder, armpit and lateral part of the thoracic cage. Also, patients complain about numbness and paraesthesia on the ulnar edge of the hand (hypothenar and 4th-5th fingers) and arm. One of the most important diagnostic signs is diversity of vasomotor changes. These can be the result of insufficient arterial blood supply to the arm (pain in the hand especially after exposure to lower temperatures; pale, cold skin; cyanosis; weak pulse) or insufficient venous blood drainage from the arm (edemas and increased skin temperature). If anterior scalene muscle syndrome exists for a long period of time, without adequate treatment, the hand will lose its strength because of muscle atrophy mostly at the ulnar edge of the arm and the hypothenar.
An important clinical sign involves Wartenberg’s test. If the examiner palpates in the spot where the anterior scalene muscle inserts into the first rib, local pain will appear. This test allows the practitioner to differentiate anterior scalene muscle syndrome can secondarily evoke rotator cuff syndrome. This is a very important diagnostic test because irritation of the brachial plexus by an over-tensed anterior scalene muscle can secondarily evoke rotator cuff syndrome. if the practitioner mistakenly starts treatment of this pathology as a rotator cuff syndrome, it will not yield significant results because the real cause of the problem is anterior scalene muscle syndrome.
