Causes of Muscle Pain

Muscle contains soft tissue that can be prone to injury. Muscle pain and muscle soreness can range from a slight pain such as a tender muscle or stiff neck to a more severe chronic pain such as a strain, pull or tear. Muscle pain is often due to excessive tension, stress, overuse and/or injuries. Muscle pain is normally specific to one area of the body. Systemic muscle pain is a pain felt throughout the entire body. Systemic muscle pain is often due to an infection, sickness, or reaction to a certain type of medication. It is important to identify the difference between the two types of pain so that proper treatment can be administered.

Below we provide some of the main causes of muscle pain:

• Delayed-onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) – Pain and stiffness from strenuous exercise
• Muscle Cramp – Sudden contraction of muscles, ex: calf cramp
• Muscle Strain / Pull – Hypertension of muscle fibers causing pain
• Repetitive Movement Strain – Muscle which has been over fatigued
• Sprain – Stretching or tearing of a ligament

• Fibromyalgia – Disorder of wide spread musculoskeletal pain
• Flu – Viral infection
• Lupus – Long term inflammatory disease
• Rheumatoid Arthritis – Chronic inflammatory disease that affects small joints in the hands and feet
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome – Extreme fatigue disorder made worse by physical or mental activity
• Myofascial Pain Syndrome– Chronic pain disorder where trigger points in the muscles cause pain in unrelated parts of the body
