Symptom #4: Muscle aches
Pain is among the most unpleasant symptoms illnesses can cause. Myalgia, also known as muscle aches, is a common symptom of a variety of diseases, and it can affect any muscle in the body. Myalgias can also involve the soft tissues that connect muscles, bones, and organs (i.e. ligaments, fascia, tendons).
Legionnaire’s disease causes muscle aches as an early symptom in many patients, indicating the start of the disease. Other possible causes of myalgias include certain drugs, trauma, overuse, muscle tension, and other infectious illnesses (i.e. influenza, malaria, Lyme disease, dengue fever).
