Fibromyalgia is a condition that causes widespread muscular pain and affects about 3.5% of women and 0.5% of men in the U.S. Some medical experts believe the condition develops because the central nervous system processes pain abnormally. People with this condition often report feelings of cold, tingling, and numbness in the extremities.
