Medipulse Hospital
A Tertiary care Hospital with all the specialties under one roof.
Muscle pain is a common occurrence, usually caused by physical activity, tension, or overuse. In most cases, muscle pain resolves on its own with rest and self-care measures. However, certain situations warrant seeking medical attention to ensure timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment. At Medipulse Hospital, we recommend seeking medical assistance under the following circumstances:
1. If the muscle pain is severe and does not improve with rest, over-the-counter pain relievers, or home remedies, it is essential to consult a healthcare professional.
2. If the muscle pain comes on suddenly and is accompanied by other worrisome symptoms like swelling, bruising, or weakness, medical evaluation is necessary.
3. If the muscle pain restricts your movement and affects your ability to perform everyday activities, medical evaluation is necessary to identify the cause and find appropriate solutions.
4. If the muscle pain is a result of an injury or trauma, seeking medical attention can ensure proper assessment and management of the injury.
