All patients have experienced some level of fatigue, but certain patients experience extreme fatigue that is not alleviated with rest or a good night's sleep. These patients may be affected by a rare health condition known as chronic fatigue syndrome. Chronic fatigue syndrome can be a debilitating condition, causing patients to experience chronic pain, muscle pain, joint pain and an unrefreshed feeling after sleep. The pain physicians at Pain Recovery Center of Tyler, proudly serving the greater Tyler, Texas area, are extremely experienced at diagnosing and treating chronic fatigue syndrome, as well as other chronic pain conditions.
Chronic fatigue syndrome is characterized by extreme fatigue not associated with any underlying medical condition. A patient’s fatigue does not improve with rest, but may worsen with mental and physical activity. To determine if chronic fatigue syndrome is the cause of a patient’s joint pain, muscle pain or chronic pain, a pain physician must rule out other illnesses or health conditions, such as sleep disorders, mental health disorders, etc.
There is no cure for chronic fatigue syndrome at this time. The goal of treatment is to alleviate symptoms so patients can live a normal, healthy life.
