About Pain
How often have you had aching muscles after a tough workout or maybe a nagging discomfort in your lower back?
Musculoskeletal pain is one of the most common types of pain and is a typical reason for doctor visits.
Pain that affects the bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves is considered musculoskeletal pain. It can be widespread (where your whole-body aches) or localised in just one body part. Many people experience acute musculoskeletal pain after an injury, minor accidents, falls, sprains, dislocations and direct blows to the muscle.
Musculoskeletal pain can also be chronic or persistent. In fact, one of the most common types of musculoskeletal pain is low back pain. Overuse (for instance, in work-related injuries or repetitive stress), poor posture or prolonged immobilisation can also lead to chronic musculoskeletal pain.
Associated Symptoms
Symptoms of musculoskeletal pain depend on whether the pain is caused by an injury or overwork and whether it is chronic or acute. The symptoms can also differ from person to person. Common symptoms include:
Types of Pain
Knee joint pain is common with aging. Knee pain can be a symptom of many different knee injuries. Be it men or women, a significant part of the population above the age of 40 suffers from knee joint pain. Conventional pain relief spray does not provide desired pain relief, because of incomplete penetration through the layers of the skin.
Neck pain can be caused due to poor posture, muscle injury, etc. Heating pads and cold pads are generally used to relieve the pain; however, it is temporary. Moreover, conventional pain relief spray does not provide desired pain relief, because of incomplete penetration through the layers of the skin. Neck pain is often related to lifestyle or occupation.
Sprains or sudden injuries can lead to wrist pain. Moreover, prolonged use of a smartphone, keyboard and mouse can lead to pain in the hands and wrists. Conventional pain relief spray does not provide desired pain relief, because of incomplete penetration through the layers of the skin. It is often related to lifestyle or occupation.
It is one of the most common complaints in adults. Heating pads and cold pads are generally used to relieve the pain; however, it is temporary. Moreover, conventional pain relief spray does not provide desired pain relief, because of incomplete penetration through the layers of the skin.
Shoulder pain can be caused due to frozen shoulders, rotator cuff strains and tear, etc. Few of the (SOME) shoulder injuries can be treated with rest and cold therapy or bandage to get instant relief. Conventional pain relief spray does not provide desired pain relief, because of incomplete penetration through the skin layers (LAYERS OF THE SKIN). Shoulder pain is often related to one’s occupation.
Ankle pain is generally caused due to sprain in the ankle. Pain relief sprays are commonly used to relieve ankle pain. However, conventional pain relief spray does not provide desired pain relief, because of incomplete penetration through the skin layers.
The term ‘arthritis’ refers to inflammation of one or more joints. Because of inflammation, arthritis is often accompanied by pain in the extremities. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disorder, and it develops from wear and tear on a joint, like from aging. Most people with OA are older, but young people can also develop this kind of arthritis after injury or repetitive stress. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), another common kind of arthritis, is an autoimmune disorder, which means the body’s immune system abnormally attacks healthy tissue. RA leads to inflammation in joints, surrounding tissues and even other organs.
