2. Your muscle pain could be arthritis
Most people tend to associate arthritis with joint pain, and while they are entitled to do so, arthritis can also cause muscle pain. Arthritis patients often feel pain in their muscles, too. So, yeah, pain and stiffness in the joints are the main symptoms of arthritis, but it doesn’t mean that you can not experience muscle pain, as well.
When there’s pain, and inflammation felt in the area of the joints, the muscles around it will be affected too. If you think that your muscle pain is more, maybe it’s time to call your doctor, especially when pain relievers didn’t help. You could have a type of arthritis without even realizing it.
