Muscle pain, also called myalgia, is a common problem that affects everyone. It can come from a variety of sources including injuries, infections and disease.
It can be a deep, steady ache or random sharp pains. Some people have muscle pain all over, while others have it in specific areas.
Often, muscle pain is caused by delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), or what happens to your muscles when you try a new activity or change up your routine. It comes on six to 12 hours after exercise and may last up to 48 hours.
Your doctor can help you treat the pain and determine what's causing it. Treatments can include ice packs, resting and elevating the affected area, stretching and heat therapy, and taking painkillers.
If your muscle aches persist, your doctor can prescribe specialized pain relief solutions such as Oxygen-Ozone therapy or physical therapy. They may also recommend strengthening exercises to keep the problem from reoccurring.
