5. Weakness
Another thing you might notice is that your muscles ache while you generally feel weak and tired.
If you notice this, then it could be due to numerous different factors. One possibility is that the condition is caused by DOMS. This is Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness – the soreness we experience after exercise. This is not a negative or damaging thing, but it can make it difficult to engage in the usual activity. Interestingly, this pain is likewise associated with inflammation!
What’s also possible though, is that you may have chronic stress which causes muscle tension making it harder to use them and leading to pain, or that you have an imbalance of neurotransmitters – such as acetylcholine which is responsible among other things for activating the muscles.
Keep an eye on this though, as muscle pain and weakness can likewise be caused by numerous other things: it might, for instance, be caused by an illness or condition that causes the body to attack the muscles, by a muscle-wasting disease, or even by a trapped nerve.
