Generalized weakness Note that this is generalized weakness, not muscle weakness. The presence of muscle weakness likely indicates a different diagnosis. [2] Inflammatory swelling and pain of wrists and/or knees (only ~25% of cases) Pitting edema (non-inflammatory swelling) of wrists, ankles, hands, and feet (only ~10% of cases)
Its causes are many and can be divided into conditions that have either true or perceived muscle weakness. True muscle weakness is a primary symptom of a variety of skeletal muscle diseases, including muscular dystrophy and inflammatory myopathy. It occurs in neuromuscular junction disorders, such as myasthenia gravis. Muscle weakness can also ...
Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is the pain and stiffness felt in muscles after unaccustomed or strenuous exercise. The soreness is felt most strongly 24 to 72 hours after the exercise. [1] [2]: 63 It is thought to be caused by eccentric (lengthening) exercise, which causes small-scale damage (microtrauma) to the muscle fibers. After such ...
Chronic exertional compartment syndrome, CECS, may cause pain, tightness, cramps, weakness, and numbness. [22] This pain can last for months or even years, but rest may relieve it.

Its symptoms include pain, tingling, numbness and muscle weakness. The symptoms affect just one particular part of the body, depending on which nerve is affected. The diagnosis is largely clinical and can be confirmed with diagnostic nerve blocks. Occasionally imaging and electrophysiology studies aid in the diagnosis. Timely diagnosis is ...
The symptoms of rhabdomyolysis depend on its severity and whether kidney failure develops. Milder forms may not cause any muscle symptoms, and the diagnosis is based on abnormal blood tests in the context of other problems. More severe rhabdomyolysis is characterized by muscle pain, tenderness, weakness and swelling of the affected muscles. [10]
Inflammatory myopathy, also known as idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM), is disease featuring muscle weakness, inflammation of muscles , and in some types, muscle pain . The cause of much inflammatory myopathy is unknown , and such cases are classified according to their symptoms and signs, electromyography, MRI, and laboratory findings. It ...
