Chronic Pain Syndrome (CPS), also known as fibromyalgia, is a disorder characterized by widespread pain, tenderness, and fatigue. CPS affects the musculoskeletal system, causing pain in muscles, ligaments, tendons, and fascia, which often is worsened by stress, infections, weather changes, overexertion, poor sleep, or anxiety. Although the cause of CPS isn't clear, research suggests it may be related to abnormalities in how the body processes pain signals.

South Africa's public healthcare system may have long waiting times for CPS treatment. Private clinics offer faster access but can be costly.
