Pain is the chief symptom of most Musculoskeletal disorders. It may be mild or severe, local or widespread (diffuse). Although pain may be acute and short-lived, as is the case with most injuries, it may be ongoing with chronic illness, such as Arthritis.
Muscle aches and pains are common and can involve more than one muscle. Muscle pain is most frequently related to tension, overuse or muscle injury from exercise or physically-demanding work. In these situations, the pain tends to involve specific muscles and starts during or just after the activity. One common cause of muscle aches and pain is Fibromyalgia, a condition that includes tenderness in muscles and surrounding soft tissue, sleep difficulties, fatigue and headaches.Musculoskeletal pain can be caused by damage to bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, bursae or nerves. Virtually all joint injuries and diseases produce a stiff, aching pain, often referred to as “Arthralgia”. The pain is worse when the joint is moved and may range from mild to severe. With some conditions, there may be swelling of the joint along with the pain.
