Systemic muscle pain â pain throughout your whole body â is more often the result of an infection, an illness or a side effect of a medication. Causes shown here are commonly associated with this symptom. Work with your doctor or other health care professional for an accurate diagnosis.
Long-lasting (chronic) pain not only makes you tired, irritable, and less productive and less active but also can trigger other problems.
