In myofascial pain syndrome, pressure on sensitive points in your muscles (trigger points) causes pain in seemingly unrelated parts of your body. This is called referred pain.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Myofascial pain syndrome typically occurs after a muscle has been contracted repetitively. This can be caused by repetitive motions used in jobs or hobbies or by stress-related muscle tension.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>While nearly everyone has experienced muscle tension pain, the discomfort associated with myofascial pain syndrome persists or worsens. Treatment options for myofascial pain syndrome include physical therapy and trigger point injections. Pain medications and relaxation techniques also can help.<\/p>\n<h2>CAUSES<\/h2>\n<p>Sensitive areas of tight muscle fibers can form in your muscles after injuries or overuse. These sensitive areas are called trigger points. A trigger point in a muscle can cause strain and pain throughout the muscle. When this pain persists and worsens, doctors call it myofascial pain syndrome.<\/p>\n<h2>SYMPTOMS<\/h2>\n<p>Signs and symptoms of myofascial pain syndrome may include:<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<ul>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Deep, aching pain in a muscle<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Pain that persists or worsens<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>A tender knot in a muscle<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li>Difficulty sleeping due to pain<\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<h3>When to see a doctor<\/h3>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience muscle pain that doesn&#8217;t go away.
