Muscle pain or myalgia is a feeling of pain in a muscle. Muscle pain can arise from a variety of causes. A common cause is muscle overuse, such as during sports, or from an injury, such as a muscle tear.
Muscle Pain
Complaints and Symptoms
Pain and stiffness after physical exertion. Stretching the muscles may be sensitive, and the muscles may also feel tight.
Causes
Muscle pain occurs due to the buildup of lactic acid in the muscle fibers and subsequently in the blood due to a lack of oxygen (anaerobic metabolism), or because one or more muscle fibers have torn during the strain on the muscle. This causes irritation but fortunately heals quickly.
Treatment
No treatment required for muscle pain. Muscle pain typically heals on its own within a few days. However, it is important to assess what is causing the pain and whether it improves as you get better trained. If this is not the case, and the pain keeps recurring, contact your physiotherapist to identify the problem and discuss workable solutions.
