Early Symptoms Of Fibromyalgia Everyone Should Be Aware Of

Ossification

Ossification is the process of cartilage or fibrous tissue ossifying and turning into bone. Ossification is very painful and can limit the range of motion and movement. Aside from being a symptom of fibromyalgia, ossification can also be caused by genetics and trauma and injury to an area of the body.

Ossification can be treated by resting the affected muscle, icing for fifteen to twenty minutes at a time, compressing the area, elevating the injured limb to help drain excess fluid, and by gentle stretching. Anti-inflammatory medications and orthotics may help, along with physical therapy.
