Muscle Pain

Muscle pain is common and can also involve ligaments, tendons, and fascia. Muscle pain is most frequently related to tension, overuse, or muscle injury. Muscle pain can also be a sign of a condition affecting the whole body, including infections, and also disorders that affect connective tissues throughout the body. One common cause of muscle aches and pain is fibromyalgia, a condition that makes the muscles and surrounding tissue tender and causes fatigue and headaches. In order to avoid muscle pain it is important to warm up before exercising and cool down afterward, stretch before and after exercise, drink lots of fluids, and if you work in the same position most of the day, stretch at least every hour.
