Hello,

I have studied your case.
Fibromyalgia is a diagnosis by exclusion and mainly diagnosed by clinical examination.

Fibromyalgia can not be totally cured, you can only minimise symptoms by taking various medications.

Exercises and stretches plays important role in maintaining symptoms of fibromyalgia

Physiotherapy like ultrasound and tens will help, along with knee exercises.

A holistic approach is required, which includes exercises, meditation ,yoga and acupuncture along with healthy diet and herbs.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
