A medical condition can be responsible for the pain. Some of these are:
Fibromyalgia
Causes fatigue, and widespread pain, among other discomforts
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Causes extreme fatigue that does not improve with rest
Myofascial Pain Syndrome
A form of chronic pain disorder and symptoms that include deep pain in muscles that do not improve over time and sleep or mood disturbances
Resting the affected areas is the first step. Other remedies that can be applied include:
• Taking an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as ibuprofen (Advil)
• Applying ice to the affected area helps relieve pain and reduce inflammation. Ice and heat should, preferably, be used interchangeably in the affected areas
Other pain relief methods include gently stretching the muscles and, most importantly, avoiding high-impact activities that will further aggravate the issue.
If the standard self-pain relief method and remedy do not alleviate the discomfort, it is advised that you make an appointment with a myotherapist.
Myotherapy is a form of physical therapy for musculoskeletal pain and related conditions. It is used to treat issues caused by muscle or myofascial dysfunction. Myofascial tissue is a thin, strong, fibrous connective tissue that supports and protects muscles and bones.
