About
Muscle pain (myalgia) refers to aching, soreness, or tenderness in muscles, ranging from exercise-induced delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) to chronic widespread pain from conditions like fibromyalgia. Common causes include overuse, tension, injury, viral infections, and medication side effects. Most acute muscle pain resolves within days with rest and basic care.
What it feels like
Aching or soreness in one or multiple muscle groups
Tenderness to touch
Stiffness, particularly after rest or on waking
Reduced strength or function in affected muscles
Pain worsened by movement or pressure
When to get help
See a doctor for muscle pain with dark urine (possible rhabdomyolysis), severe sudden onset, high fever, or muscle pain that is worsening rather than improving after 7–10 days. Statin-related muscle pain should be discussed with the prescribing doctor.
