What Causes Pain In Hips And Soreness In Abdominal Muscles?
generalised muscle pain
Detailed Answer:
Hi Thanks for your question.
Almost everyone has sore, aching muscles now and then. Muscle pain (myalgia) can range from mild to excruciating. Though it often goes away in a few days, sometimes muscle pain can linger for months. Muscle pain can develop almost anywhere in your body, including your neck, back, legs and even your hands.
The most common causes of muscle pain are tension, stress, overuse and minor injuries. This type of pain is usually localized, affecting just one or more muscles or parts of your body. Systemic muscle pain, which you feel throughout your body, is different. It's more often the result of an infection, an illness or a side effect of a medication.
Home treatment usually relieves muscle pain from minor injuries, stress or exercise. Muscle pain from severe injuries or systemic disease is often serious and requires medical care.
Get immediate medical care if you have muscle pain with:
Trouble breathing or dizziness
Extreme muscle weakness
A high fever and stiff neck
Schedule an office visit if you have:
A tick bite or rash
Muscle pain, especially in your calves, that occurs with exercise and resolves with rest
Signs of infection, such as redness and swelling, around a sore muscle
Muscle pain after you start taking or increase the dosage of a medication — particularly statins, which are used to control cholesterol
Muscle pain that lasts longer than a week
Self-care
Muscle pain that occurs during an activity usually signals a "pulled" or strained muscle. These types of injuries usually respond well to R.I.C.E. therapy:
Rest. Take a break from your normal activities.
Ice. Place an ice pack or bag of frozen peas on the sore area for 15 to 20 minutes three times a day.
Compression. Use a compression bandage to reduce swelling.
Elevation. Elevate your foot to help reduce swelling.
I hope this helps answer your questions
