Pain can be throbbing, burning, stabbing, grabbing, or a combination of these. The widespread pain of fibromyalgia can cause sleep disturbances. Additional symptoms include anxiety, problems with thinking or memory and even digestive disturbances. This condition can affect people of all ages, but generally develops around middle age.
