Causes of Body Pain

The most common causes of acute body pain come from muscle soreness due to minor injuries like back strain, overuse of muscles at the gym as well as stress and tension. This type of pain can be targeted to a small group of muscles (such as in the back) or through your entire body.  Muscle pain that is felt throughout your whole body is most often caused by an infection, such as the flu or other more serious conditions.

Aches and pains may also occur if you sit, walk, or stand for long periods of time without getting up to move or stretch.

A bit of rest and self-care may be just what you need to relieve your body aches. But some instances of body pain may indicate that you have an underlying condition. In these cases, you may need to see your GP for a diagnosis. They can create a long-term treatment plan to relieve your pain and other associated symptoms.
