Muscle Pain

Muscle pain, also known as myalgia, is discomfort or soreness in the muscles caused by factors like overuse, injury, tension, or inflammation. It often results from microtears in muscle fibers, accumulation of waste products, or nerve irritation. Commonly associated with physical activity, muscle pain can also stem from conditions such as infections, chronic illnesses, or nutritional deficiencies. The pain usually feels like a dull ache, stiffness, or tenderness and may improve with rest, gentle stretching, or proper hydration. If persistent or severe, it may indicate underlying health issues requiring medical attention.
