What is muscle pain?

Muscle pain is a sign of an injury, infection, disease or other health problem. You may feel a deep, steady ache or random sharp pains. Some people have muscle pain all over, while others have it in specific areas. Everyone experiences muscle pain differently. People of all ages and genders can have sore muscles. When you try a new physical activity or switch up your exercise routine, you may experience delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Muscle aches may come on six to 12 hours after a workout and last up to 48 hours. You feel pain as the muscles heal and get stronger.

Causes of muscles aches?

Stress

Stress makes it harder for the body to fight off disease. In people who are unwell and stressed, the muscles may ache as the body struggles to combat inflammation or infection.

Symptoms of stress include:

  • Heart palpitations or an increased heart rate
  • High blood pressure
  • Headaches
  • Shaking
  • Chest pains
  • Feeling breathless or hyperventilating

Nutritional deficit

A person may experience muscular aches and pains because they are not getting the proper nutrition from their diet. Vitamin D plays a particularly important role in ensuring that the muscles function correctly. Vitamin D helps with the absorption of calcium, and a deficiency can lead to hypocalcemia. Hypocalcemia is a condition in which the blood calcium level is low, which can affect the bones and organs in addition to the muscles.

Sprains and strains

Strains, sprains, and other injuries can cause muscle pain and discomfort. People may find that a particular area of the body becomes stiff and achy if it is injured. Pulling muscles can also cause muscle soreness. Some sprains and strains do not need treatment, but a person should rest, take over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers, or use heat packs to ease the symptoms. However, if the injury is causing significant pain, restricting normal movement, or not improving with time, it is advisable to make an appointment with a doctor.
