Symptom #7: Pain & Stiffness in Muscles
Muscle pain and stiffness is a symptom of many musculoskeletal conditions including muscular dystrophy. In fact, the symptom is a significant feature of these conditions. The cause of pain could be due to postural problems, but it can also be a result of inflammation in patient’s muscles.
As the muscles weaken patients overuse them because they struggle to get up, run, or do other activities. Overworked muscles can cause pain. Stiffness is yet another problem, and it occurs due to long periods of inactivity. Using hot and cold packs is a good way to numb the pain or alleviate stiffness in your muscles.
