Question 6

Do we treat fibromyalgia at Bolad Arthritis & Rheumatology Clinic?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bolad Arthritis & Rheumatology Clinic evaluates and treats fibromyalgia when it is associated with an underlying rheumatic or autoimmune condition. All patients with fibromyalgia symptoms are accepted for a comprehensive initial evaluation to rule out conditions such as connective tissue disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, inflammatory arthritis, or Lyme disease. If fibromyalgia is determined to be primary and not related to an underlying rheumatic condition, our rheumatologists provide treatment recommendations and initial management. We then help guide patients toward long term care options, including pain management when appropriate.
