The Pain Cycle

How fibromyalgia pain can become self-reinforcing

PAINCYCLE PersistentPain PoorSleep Fatigue &Exhaustion ReducedActivity MuscleWeakness &Stiffness Low Mood& Anxiety Stress &Frustration

Pain leads to poor sleep, fatigue, reduced activity, deconditioning, low mood, and stress — which all feed back into increasing pain. Recognising this cycle is the first step to breaking it.
