10 Myofascial Pain Syndrome Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #6: Behavioral Disturbances
Myofascial pain syndrome is something that is not at all well understood and needs a lot more research. While it tends to manifest itself as physical pain, it is also often closely associated with emotional conditions. As such, some patients that experience myofascial pain syndrome may also suffer from behavioral disturbances. This can include conditions such as aggression, agitation, anxiety, and even psychosis.
Behavioral disturbances are often easy to overlook as people don’t know what to look for. It can be easy to just think that the patient is an unsociable person. The reality could be that they have an illness and deserve help, and myofascial pain syndrome symptoms may be able to help recognize the problem.
