3. Adjacent muscle soreness
This is a particularly frustrating symptom for sufferers, as adjacent muscle soreness with pain similar to that caused by DOMS can be felt, even when those muscles haven’t been overworked or tested.
This can lead to several complications. A patient may be inclined to believe that they have pulled, overstretched or torn the sore muscle, and may subsequently seek treatment for a problem they simply don’t have. It can also restrict movement even further than the limiting of everyday and normal functions already does, given that when it hurts to move, we are less inclined to move at all.
The presence of joint pain can often worry people into suspecting malignancy, nut pain is not always an indicator of malignancy though, as osteochondromas which occur under a tendon can cause pain to be experienced during all types of movement, as the restriction is caused with the joint working in motion.
