Muscle pain

Muscle pain is a symptom of an underlying medical condition. It can range from a dull ache to a sharp, burning sensation and can be localized to one area or throughout the body. It often develops gradually, starting with mild discomfort that progresses over time. Muscle pain can be caused by a variety of conditions, including overuse, injury, and medical conditions such as fibromyalgia and lupus. Symptoms can include tenderness, stiffness, swelling, and reduced range of motion. Treatment depends on the underlying cause.
