For Your Information: When we say arm pain on this page, we mean any pain in the upper extremities in general. This includes shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand pain. Likewise, when we say leg pain, we mean pain in the lower extremities at large. This includes hip, knee, ankle, and foot pain.
If you’re experiencing muscle pain related to your legs and arms, neck and shoulder pain, or elsewhere, you may be feeling:
– Constant tension in your muscles.
– Pain that ranges across multiple muscles or one.
– Pain that comes and goes.
– Sore muscles.
If you relate to any of the above symptoms, keep reading. The following sections will explain some causes of muscle pain, leg pain, and arm pain, how you can treat them at a local Miami chiropractic clinic, and have a more comfortable life.
Leg, Arm, and General Muscle Pain Causes
Your legs and arms are made of hundreds of bones, ligaments, tendons, nerves and muscles. All of these individual components work together to facilitate mobility and strength in your legs and arms.
Joints are where all of the ligaments of the two bones come together to facilitate movement, with the help of natural lubricants like synovial fluid.
Muscles, ligaments, and tendons create a complex of soft tissue that coordinate movement in your arms and legs. Ligaments are bands of soft tissue that connect two bones together. Tendons are strong bands of soft tissue that connect muscle to bone.
Muscles themselves are made of millions of muscle fiber units that work together to create a forceful pulling motion, all coordinated by the nerves and the nervous system.
Nerves that originate in our neck, extend into our arms, down to each fingertip. Nerves that originate in our lower back extend into our legs, down to each toe. These nerves are like the electricity that controls the function and movement of the upper and lower extremities.
As you can probably see, your legs, arms, and muscles are complicated systems. Thus, there are hundreds of reasons why you may have arm pain, leg pain, or muscle pain. Here is a snippet of the many leg, arm, and muscle pain causes:
Mechanical Causes
As stated above, your legs and arms have many bones, nerves, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Your leg and arm pain can be caused by unnatural strains or positions put on them. This is especially true for muscles.
These unnatural strains and positions may be caused by:
– Overuse of your arms or legs, especially if you engage in repetitive motions. This is particularly true for people who work manual labor or desk jobs. Some classic examples of this are plantar fasciitis or carpal tunnel.
– An injury. This may include sports injuries or workplace-related injuries.
– Sleeping in an improper position.
– Chronic conditions like Osteoarthritis (Arthritis), Tendinitis and Bursitis.
The above-mentioned causes, and along with others, can lead to more serious conditions like pinched nerves that cause arm and leg pain.
Nervous System Issues
Leg, arm, and general muscle pain can also be caused by various conditions that affect your nervous system directly. Your legs and arms have millions of nerves running in and out of them and sometimes bones and ligaments in the legs and arms can put physical pressure on the nerves.
The bones and ligaments may injure nerves, or put pressure on them, thereby causing pain by:
– Pinching a nerve. A classic example of this is carpal tunnel syndrome.
– Alterations in the structure of the bones themselves like after an injury.
The nerves themselves may also be causing your pain, as can occur when an individual is suffering from sciatica. Sciatica is a condition where the Sciatic Nerve, which is located in the back of the leg, is experiencing excessive pressure and refers pain to the calf, lower back, or other locations.
Other Causes
Other conditions that may cause leg, arm, or general muscle pain include but are not limited to:
– Fibromyalgia: a disorder that causes widespread muscle pain, and fatigue.
– Multiple sclerosis.
– Bacterial and fungal infections.
