Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain Management

Fibromyalgia involves ongoing pain across wide areas of the body, fatigue, disturbed sleep and problems with concentration. The intensity of the pain is not proportional to tissue damage; what has changed is the way the nervous system processes pain. That is why passive treatments alone fall short. Fzt. Bilal Kara follows what current guidelines place first: graded exercise, pain education and daily routine handled together.

When is it needed?

  • A flare lasting for days after trying exercise
  • Even a normally-tolerated load increasing pain
  • Dropping exercise entirely because of these experiences
  • Not being able to start training because of fatigue
  • Conditioning steadily declining

What we do

  • Deliberately keeping the starting load low
  • Small, weekly, graded increases
  • Tracking sleep, fatigue and pain together
  • Building conditioning work into the programme
  • Temporarily reducing load during a flare

Fibromyalgia in Bursa Nilüfer

Fzt. Bilal Kara provides one-to-one care for fibromyalgia at the clinic in Bursa Nilüfer — in Fethiye Mahallesi, on Kelebek Sokak, at a central point of Nilüfer, opposite the Fethiye covered market.

It is a short trip by car or public transport from İhsaniye, Odunluk, Balat, Özlüce, Ataevler, 23 Nisan and the surrounding areas. Every session is one-to-one, assessment-based and tailored to you.

If exercise increases pain, the dose is wrong

Graded exercise is one of the highest-evidence approaches for fibromyalgia. Where it fails in practice, the cause is usually dose, not method: a load considered normal can trigger a flare that lasts for days, and the person drops exercise altogether.

Fzt. Bilal Kara manages loading by measurement. The starting level is kept deliberately low, increases come in small weekly steps, and sleep, fatigue and pain are tracked together. Conditioning work is part of the programme; the goal isn't performance, it's more energy left at the end of the day.

Is the goal performance?

No. Conditioning work is part of the programme, but the goal isn't performance — it's more energy left at the end of the day. Progress is judged against that measure.

Frequently asked questions

My pain increases after exercising — is that normal?

If the dose is too high, yes. That doesn't mean exercise isn't right for you — it means the dose needs to come down.

What should I do if I have a flare?

Load is reduced temporarily, and once the flare passes, training resumes from a lower level.

How long before I see progress?

It varies from person to person; progress comes in small steps while sleep, fatigue and pain are tracked regularly.
