Myalgia means "muscle pain " and is a symptom of many diseases and disorders. The most common causes are overuse or over-stretching of a muscle or group of muscles. Myalgia without a traumatic history is often due to viral infections . Longer-term myalgias may be indicative of a metabolic myopathy , some nutritional deficiencies or chronic fatigue syndrome .
Causes The most common causes of myalgia are overuse, injury or stress .[1] vaccination [2] citation needed
