Myofascial Pain Syndrome
Myofascial pain syndrome is a chronic pain disorder. It is characterised by pressure on trigger points (the sensitive points in your muscles) that cause referred pain in other parts of the body.

Cause:
Myofascial pain syndrome usually occurs after a muscle has been contracted through repetitive motions. Muscle pain is common, but you are at an increased risk for myofascial pain syndrome if you have a lot of stress & anxiety or if you experience a muscle injury. These things can make you more likely to develop trigger points.
Symptoms:
Persistent or worsening pain.
Deep & aching muscle pain.
Tender knot located at the muscle.
Treatments:
Physical therapy
Pain medications
