  2. Myofascial pain syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myofascial_pain_syndrome

    The cause is believed to be muscle tension or spasms within the affected musculature. [1] Diagnosis is based on the symptoms and possible sleep studies. [1] Treatment may include pain medication, physical therapy, mouth guards, and occasionally benzodiazepine. [1] It is a relatively common cause of temporomandibular pain. [1]

  3. Shin splints - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shin_splints

    A technique such as deep transverse friction to relieve muscle tightness will help stop the build-up of scar tissue. This can overall release tension in the calf muscle area, relieving pressure that is causing pain. [13] Less-common forms of treatment for more-severe cases of shin splints include extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) and ...

  4. Acquired non-inflammatory myopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acquired_non-inflammatory...

    Symptoms of this muscle toxicity include combinations of cramping, weakness, aching or tenderness; and are often experienced in the quadriceps, pectoral, biceps, low back, or abdominal region. Symptoms tend to worsen with muscle exercise, and often continue after a patient is removed from statin therapy. [ 1 ]

  5. Compartment syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compartment_syndrome

    This pain can last for months or even years, but rest may relieve it. [23] There may also be mild weakness in the affected area. [11] Exercise causes these symptoms. [24] They start with muscle tightness, then a painful burning if exercise continues. [24] After exercise stops, the compartment pressure will drop in a few minutes. [18]

  6. Myalgia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myalgia

    Myalgia or muscle pain is a painful sensation evolving from muscle tissue. It is a symptom of many diseases . The most common cause of acute myalgia is the overuse of a muscle or group of muscles ; another likely cause is viral infection , especially when there has been no injury .

  7. Benign acute childhood myositis - Wikipedia

    Prodromal symptoms are typically fever, cough, and rhinorrhea. BACM symptoms that follow are most frequently calf pain, gait complaints, and inability to walk. [2] The condition is self-limited and full restitution can be expected. In very rare cases, however, rhabdomyolysis may develop. [1]

  8. Myopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myopathy

    This meaning implies that the primary defect is within the muscle, as opposed to the nerves ("neuropathies" or "neurogenic" disorders) or elsewhere (e.g., the brain). This muscular defect typically results in myalgia (muscle pain), muscle weakness (reduced muscle force), or premature muscle fatigue (initially normal, but declining muscle force).

  9. Neuromuscular disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromuscular_disease

    Symptoms of neuromuscular disease may include numbness, paresthesia, muscle atrophy, a pseudoathletic appearance, exercise intolerance, myalgia (muscle pain), fasciculations (muscle twitches), myotonia (delayed muscle relaxation), hypotonia (lack of resistance to passive movement), fixed muscle weakness (a static symptom), or premature muscle ...
