The Role
Your
Clothing
Plays In
Your
Long-term
Pain
By Chrissy Phillips
Most people have worn something ill-fitting and
regretted it. Whether its trousers cutting into
your waist or an ill-fitting bra or poorly fitting
shoes causing blisters, it’s a common occurrence.
For some people; especially those suffering
with fibromyalgia, the very act of wearing
clothes can be a source of pain. Therefore, no
matter the cause of the pain, being smarter with
clothing choices can help manage it.
Choose Loose-Fitting
Clothing for Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a hidden source of pain which
has led to some people who ought to know better
calling it “made up.” However, it is very
much present and can be exacerbated by poor
clothing choices. Just as irritable bowel syndrome
(IBS) can be mitigated through smart
eating choices, fibromyalgia can be mitigated
through better clothing choices.
