what is musculoskeletal pain
Causes of musculoskeletal 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 very typical reason for doctor visits. Pain that affects the bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves are all considered musculoskeletal pain. It can be widespread (where your whole body aches) or localized in just one body part.
