Whole Body Pain

General body pain or muscle aches are also known as muscle pain, myalgia, or simply pain in the muscles. Muscle aches are extremely common. Almost everybody has likely experienced discomfort in his or her muscles at some point. Because almost every part of the body has muscle tissue, this type of pain can be felt practically anywhere.

Conditions Treated

Causes of Muscle Pain

Often, people who experience muscle aches can easily pinpoint the cause. This is because most instances of myalgia result from too much stress, tension, or physical activity. Some common causes include:

muscle tension in one or more areas of the body
overusing the muscle during physical activity
injuring the muscle while engaging in physically demanding work or exercise (muscle sprains and strains are both injuries that can cause muscle aches and pain)

Not all muscle aches are related to stress, tension, and physical activity. Some medical explanations for myalgia include:

Fibromyalgia (which can frequently be a cause of concern in females)
infections, such as the flu
lupus
use of certain medications or drugs
dermatomyositis (marked by inflammation and a rash)
polymyositis (marked by inflammation and tenderness)

Muscle Pain Treatment

Home Care: Muscle aches often respond well to home treatment. Some measures you can take to ease any muscle discomfort from injuries and overuse include:

resting the area of the body where you are experiencing aches and pains
taking an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as ibuprofen
applying ice to the affected area to help relieve pain and ease inflammation

Other measures that may provide relief from muscle pain due to a variety of causes include:

Gently stretching the muscles
Avoiding high-impact activities until after the muscle pain goes away
Avoiding weight-lifting sessions until the muscle pain is resolved
Giving yourself time to rest
Doing stress-relieving activities and exercises such as yoga and meditation to relieve tension

Specialized Care: Muscle aches are not always harmless, and in some instances, home treatment is not enough. Myalgia can also be a sign that something is seriously wrong in your body.

You should see a specialized pain physician if you have:

pain that does not go away after a few days of home treatment
severe muscle pain if you are unsure of the cause
muscle pain that occurs along with a rash
myalgia accompanied by redness or swelling
pain that occurs soon after a change in the medications you take
