Body Pain
Minor aches and pains are, for the most part, a normal experience. Everyone at some point will experience sore muscles or joints, but when your body pain becomes long lasting it may be a cause for concern.
There are certain medical conditions and injuries that can cause body pain to manifest. This can result in total all over body pain ranging from mild, short lived bursts to severe and long lasting pain. This type of severe pain can impair your ability to do simple everyday tasks and, if left untreated, can easily become debilitating. The commonest causes of body pain include fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndrome.
