If you have extensive muscle pain and pain throughout your body, we want to emphasize that it is never too late to grasp aching muscles, sore tendons, high-sensitivity nerves and stiff joints. But the journey is not necessarily easy.
Although malfunction of muscles, nerves and joints are among the most common causes, we must not forget that there may also be more serious and underlying causes for your entire body to work. In the article we will also talk about more serious diagnoses like Fibromyalgia, lung disease, the consept of rheumatism, cancer or polyneuropathy. Pain in the body can occur on both the left and right side - which can give indications of where the pain comes from.

Self-treatment when the body aches and hurts
It can be tempting to lie down on the couch when your body is playing on a team, but that is not always the smartest thing to do. One of the best things you can do is keep moving - at your own pace. Especially walks in the woods and fields are among the best you can do.
Others make use of trigger point / massage balls against sore muscle knots when the body aches - or the use of cooling muscle gel such as Biofreeze But fortunately we are not like all men, so many prefer one heat pack to start blood circulation around painful soft tissue.

Who is hurt by the body?
Everyone can be unlucky enough to be affected by a aching and painful body. It is not necessarily that you have done something wrong, but having said that, for example, very heavy work can turn into pain later in life - in the same way that too much inactivity can also lead to pain in the carcass.

Treatment for Pain in the Body
The treatment you receive depends on the very cause of your pain. If we start with muscle and joint pain then there are three publicly authorized professions that treat such ailments:
Physical therapist
chiropractor
manual therapist
We always recommend that you only go for assessment and treatment at publicly authorized professions, as these have protected titles and that you thus know what to expect. These therapists often use a combination of muscle work and joint treatment - in combination with needle treatment, laser therapy and pressure wave treatment if they also have expertise in this.

Violence advice against Pain in the Body
We choose to include some old women's advice against body aches that people actually believe in - please don't try these yourself. We start with something as uncomfortable as nettle. One submitter claims that she lay down in a fuel field for a few minutes - and that she claims that this keeps the gout away for up to two years. The same woman also says that she often gets whipped with nettle (!) On both knees and back where the gout is worst.
We are not convinced and maintain our advice that you should seek out a chiropractor rather than a fire extinguisher.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pain in the Body
Feel free to use the comment box below to ask questions like these.
It hurts my body after drinking alcohol.
Many people are not aware that one can be intolerant to alcohol - and that the pain you experience in the body may be due to your body interpreting the alcohol as toxins and that it struggles to break it down effectively. You can simply call it a mild alcohol poisoning.
Has often hurt the body when changing weather. What could it be?
When the weather changes, we also get changes in the barometric air pressure. Research has shown that rheumatism in particular is affected by weather changes, but it can also affect people without a rheumatic diagnosis. Perhaps you have noticed that you often get hurt in the head in advance of a real change of weather?
I hurt my body and freeze. What is the cause?
The fact that your body works in the way you describe may indicate that you may have an infection or that you have been infected with a virus. The most well-known cause of this type of pain is our beloved flu virus, but there are also a number of other viruses that can also cause the same presentation of symptoms and pain. As is well known, these can give you a fever - which leads to the temperature changes you experience. Allergies are also a common cause of body aches and colds.
