There can be many possible reasons for body pain. An aching body makes every activity more difficult, from getting through our daily grind to going to sleep at night. Sometimes our bodies ache from hard work or exercise, but at other times the causes of muscle aches can be more complex and associated with other symptoms.
There are many problems that may be causing body pain, for example arthritis, fibromyalgia, the common flu, thyroid etc.
Here are few examples for pain: –
Influenza
Influenza, also known as “the flu”, is a viral infection that infects our lungs, nose, and throat. The flu can cause body aches and muscle pain.
Why Does the Flu Cause Muscle Soreness and Body Pain?
When you’re aching all over and you have the flu, your body aches because it is releasing different types of chemicals to help fight off the infection. One of the chemicals produced by your immune system is called prostaglandin (PG). PG helps our body fight infection, but it also causes body aches. It can bring on other symptoms like fever, too.
Allopathic painkillers like aspirin, acetaminophen and non-steroidal pain relievers like ibuprofen, diclofenac, naproxen etc. can alleviate body aches and fever when you have a flu but as they interfere with the production of PG so they weaken your immune system too.
The enzyme that produces PG resembles a crystal with a tube through the middle. Aspirin, ibuprofen etc. plug up the tube, stopping the production of PG.

The Common Cold
Fever, muscle aches, runny nose, stuffy nose, chills, headaches, and fatigue are typical flu symptoms, but they can happen with the common cold as well. However, it’s usually the severity of the symptoms that differentiates the two. Flu-like symptoms tend to be more severe than symptoms of a cold. If you have a cold or the flu, rest and drink plenty of fluids.
Homeopathic treatment for flu is the best, shortest and treatment of choice.
SARS, Corona etc.
Muscle and body pain are symptoms of viral or bacterial infection:
Anyone who has had SARS, Corona, Hepatic encephalopathy, pneumonia etc. including those who have had a mild infection, may experience muscle and body pain, as well as stomach and chest pain.
Thyroid Problems and body pain
If you suffer from hypothyroidism, body aches can be the first symptoms you experience. Hypothyroidism is the disorder that occurs when a person’s body is not producing enough thyroid hormone. This can have several symptoms, and among these are muscle cramping, aching, stiff joints, and body aches. Sometimes the aching is vague and nonspecific.
Biochemical hypothyroidism is relatively common because of not only factories but access use of allopathic drugs too. The good news is that this thyroid problem is completely treatable with Homeopathic medicines, which can restore your hormone level to normal and will help relieve fatigue and aches. These medications do not need to be taken throughout life like allopathic drugs.
Poor Blood Circulation
If you notice an aching pain in your legs after a walk, it could be a blood circulation problem. Claudication (typically, obstruction of an artery) causes burning, cramping, or pain in one or both legs that is relieved after resting. It is caused by atherosclerosis, a condition that narrows and hardens the arteries through plaque buildup.
Patients diagnosed with this condition may be put on medication or recommended to walk more frequently, as well as to stop smoking and reduce nonorganic fats, white sugar and processed food and drinks from their diets. In allopathy there are minimally invasive treatments as well, including angioplasty, stents, and more. in allopathy surgical treatments are necessary if symptoms are severe.
On the other hand, in Homeopathy there are lot of well-known and well proven medicines for cardiac disease, vascular diseases and claudication (anywhere in the body).
Lupus
The pain you feel in your joints may be related to the autoimmune disease known as lupus.
Lupus causes your immune system to attack healthy tissues, which can make you ache all over. During a bout of lupus, your body becomes inflamed throughout. Part of the inflammation process involves a thickening of the lining around your joints. This makes your joints and tendons swell and causes body aches.
Some lupus patients describe this agony as being similar to arthritis. Unlike arthritis, though, lupus usually does not cause permanent damage to your bones and joints.
With allopath, the first line of defense against this type of discomfort is over-the-counter medicine. Anti-inflammatory painkillers such as aspirin and ibuprofen etc. Heating pads and warm baths and showers can also ease stiff joints.
Homeopathy has many well proven medicines for lupus and other joints and bone diseases.
Arthritis pain
One of the most common causes of chronic body pain is arthritis. Arthritis is a catch-all diagnosis that includes more than 100 diseases affecting joints and muscles.
The most common of these is osteoarthritis, which slowly breaks down the bones and cartilage that make up one or more joints. Along with body pain, osteoarthritis causes stiffness, swelling, and limits the movements of the joints it impacts.
There are ways to manage arthritis especially Homeopathic treatment, which is short term (30-80 days), and cure is permanent.
Dermatomyositis and Pain
If your musculoskeletal pain comes bundled with eyelid rashes, you could be in the grips of dermatomyositis. This is an autoimmune disease that causes general aching because it inflames the blood vessels beneath your skin. It can make it hard to swallow, and to stand up from a seated position.
Common symptoms include fatigue and rashes. These can be red or purple, and they tend to itch. And they don’t just appear on eyelids; dermatomyositis rashes may appear on cheeks, elbows, knees, knuckles, the back, or the upper chest.
Allopathic doctors might prescribe medications like corticosteroids to control the symptoms. Purified blood products can be offered as injections, and these can stop the damage to your muscles and skin for a time. But they need to be administered regularly and they are expensive.
In Homeopathy treatment of skin diseases and vascular diseases is very cheap, recovery is lifelong and of course without any side effects.
Fibromyalgia Pain Points
Fibromyalgia causes body pain. The hallmark symptom of fibromyalgia is significant muscle pain, stiffness, and tenderness all over your body. Headaches, numb hands and feet, and abdominal pain are other agonizing indications a person may have this affliction.
For reasons that aren’t well understood, people with fibromyalgia are more sensitive to pain. That goes for the estimated 5 million American adults who suffer from the disorder. About 80% to 90% of them are women. For some of these people, fibromyalgia is so debilitating that they can’t get out of bed. For others, the body aches come and go, bringing both good days and bad days.
For allopath researchers, fibromyalgia is difficult to understand as a disease. They still don’t know what causes the condition. To be diagnosed, however, a standard scoring system has been developed. A person must experience widespread pain in all four quadrants of their body and other illnesses need to be ruled out.
Dr. Willium Borek M.D, Dr. Burnet M.D and Dr Tayllor MD treats fibromyalgia even in late 19th century; nowadays there are many proven Homeopathic medicines for fibromyalgia.
Polymyositis
Those who suffer from polymyositis (PM) experience weakness in their shoulders, neck, and back, as well as their hips and thighs. The weakness may come on gradually over the course of several months or may degenerate over a few days. Sometimes body aches and tenderness come with it, too. Although polymyositis can cause a lot of discomfort, it is usually not life-threatening.
For unknown reasons, polymyositis causes your body’s immune system to attack muscle fibers. It comes on after age 20 typically and is more common in women. The good news is that there is the best and short-term treatment for polymyositis in the Homeopathic field.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Pain
Along with extreme exhaustion, people with chronic fatigue syndrome often experience common symptoms like deep, persistent joint and muscle pain. Their skin might feel sore when touched, and pressure headaches can also result.
Allopathic treatment is pain killers like acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and aspirin; they recommend stretching, gentle massage, heat, hydrotherapy, and relaxation techniques to ease the hurt. Pain management counseling may be in order, too, if the pain is constant.
For allopathic researchers, chronic fatigue is a poorly understood syndrome that frustrates them. According to them the cause of chronic fatigue remains elusive, allopathic experts are increasingly convinced that this debilitating condition goes beyond mere lethargy, and that its roots are physiological.
On other hand Homeopathic researchers know the causes and have many well proven medicines for fatigue.
Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR)
If you’ve experienced stiff joints and aching in your upper arms, neck, thighs, and lower back that is worse in the morning, you may have a bout of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR).
This whole-body pain usually comes on quickly, sometimes even overnight, and it can make it difficult to raise your arms over your shoulders.
To allopathic researchers, polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is not yet understood. What they do know is that it seems to originate in the joints, and unlike fibromyalgia, polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) causes inflammation. It is most common among Caucasians over age 50, with the average age of a PMR patient being age 70 and is more common in women than in men.
The usual allopathic anti-inflammatory pain medicines such as aspirin and ibuprofen do not offer much help in the case of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). Instead, allopathic doctors are more likely to prescribe corticosteroids, these drugs can respond quickly and dramatically, sometimes easing a patient’s pain after a single dose. This isn’t always the case, however, and treatment may take longer in some instances to ease inflammation.
Homeopathic researchers called it “Muscular rheumatism”, and treatment duration is less than 20-30 days even for chronic cases.
Tick Bites
If you experience muscle pain within two weeks of being bitten by a tick, you may have contracted Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) caused by Rickettsia.
Rickettsia is transmitted during the tick bite. Since tick bites can be painless, you may not realize you’ve been bitten, but the presence of a fever and a rash on your wrists and ankles may confirm the disease. Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is serious. People can die a little over a week after symptoms begin.
Fortunately, it is treatable even with allopathic antibiotics, except of severe cases where long-term health problems can result, including blood vessel damage (vasculitis) and clotting and bleeding in the brain and other organs. Allopathic treatment is only effective if it begins within the first five days.
In Homeopathy even for severe and chronic cases treatment is very simple, short term and without any side effects and conditions.
Bull’s Eye Rash
The symptoms of Lyme disease can resemble arthritis, with swelling joints in the later stages and common joint pain throughout.
One absolute sign of Lyme is a large rash around the bite itself, which can either be solid red or a bull’s-eye pattern. Other common symptoms of the infection include swollen lymph glands, headaches, dizziness, shooting pains, numbness, tingling, and a generally achy feeling. Lyme disease is caused when the bacteria, Borrelia burgdorferi, are transmitted by the tick bite.
Allopathic Medication
Statins
A common allopathic drug used to treat high cholesterol has been linked with muscle and joint aches in 20% to 30% of cases.
Statins are widely used to help prevent arterial plaque that can lead to heart disease and other cardiovascular dangers.
Why statins cause pain may come down to an energy-producing coenzyme called Q10. Scientists have found that statins reduce the body’s natural stock of coenzyme Q10.
Opiates
The allopathic drug class known for deadening pain can also cause it in some cases. Long-term opiate use and addiction can cause an effect known as opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH). OIH actually makes your body more sensitive to pain. It’s possible that taking opioids suppresses your body’s natural painkilling functions, leaving users vulnerable to pain after the effect of the drug wears off.
Here is the best option is Homeopathic pain and cause of pain removers/treating not just for the time being kill/silent the pain.
Stress
Stress and anxiety can cause a variety of physical pains, for example jaw, neck, chest, stomach, and back pain, headaches and muscle spasms etc.
Body soreness caused by anxiety disorders can be managed. Getting the right balance of sleep, exercise, and proper nutrition into your daily life can go a long way.
In allopathic treatment, there are only relaxation techniques that can be beneficial, such as meditation and breathing training. Some lifelong medications that can help include SSRIs, MAOIs, and tricyclic antidepressants.
Here is Homeopathy once more time a few steps ahead of allopathic researchers.
Depression
Depression can make pain longer lasting and more severe. And the worse a person experiences pain, the more likely they are to be depressed and the more severe their depression tends to be.
Bodily soreness is a common complaint for those diagnosed with depression, so much so that nearly 80% of patients diagnosed with depression came to visit a doctor with only physical symptoms.
Neurotransmitters are the chemicals that send messages from one nerve cell to another. The neurotransmitters that respond to both mood and pain are the same: serotonin and norepinephrine. That’s why antidepressants are sometimes prescribed to people with chronic pain.
Homeopathic treatment for depression is quite better and effective, cheap and for a short time period.
Insomnia Makes Pain Worse
Some studies indicate that poor sleep causes you to feel pain more intensely. The reasons for this haven’t been determined. But if it’s so, then a good night’s sleep could help ease your pain.
Vitamin D Deficiency
Every part of your body has a receptor for vitamin D, from your bones to your muscles to your brain cells. And there seems to be a relationship between very low levels of vitamin D and chronic pain.
Arthritis sufferers should be particularly concerned for two reasons. For one, vitamin D maintains blood calcium, keeping bones hard and strong. For another, corticosteroids (a common allopathic arthritis treatment) seem to reduce your body’s vitamin D, vitamin K and phosphorus levels.
Allopathic supplements are absolutely not recommended for too many reasons; the best way to maintain your health and take all vitamins and minerals is a Homeopathic mother-tincture or potency of Moringa oriflora.
Dehydration
Dehydration is the loss of fluids due to diarrhea, vomiting, fever, or excess urination. You need sufficient water in your body to maintain blood volume, digest food, regulate body temperature, and many other important functions. If you lose water and electrolytes, it could give your body aches.
Signs and symptoms of dehydration include dry mouth, fatigue, sunken eyes, reduced urination, extreme thirst, dark-colored urine, dizziness, and confusion. If you are experiencing symptoms of severe dehydration and aren’t able to get or keep fluids down, you may need to get IV fluids to rehydrate.
Histoplasmosis pain
Histoplasmosis is a fungal infection caused by Histoplasma. The fungus lives in soil that is contaminated by large amounts of droppings from birds and bats. People may become infected with Histoplasma by inhaling airborne fungal spores.
Affected individuals may experience coughing, fatigue, fever, and body aches. People who get histoplasmosis, especially those who have a weakened immune system, may experience severe symptoms.
Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness
Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is muscle pain and stiffness that occurs approximately 1 to 2 days following doing a new or strenuous type of exercise. Pain occurs due to microscopic trauma to muscles that happens during lengthening activities during exercise. An example of an eccentric exercise would be uncurling the biceps after lifting a weight.
Allopathic OTC nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and massage may be helpful in alleviating delayed onset muscle soreness, but it will be better to provide proper Homeopathic treatment to escape complications in future. Take a break if you are experiencing delayed onset muscle soreness and allow your body to rest and recover.
Pain Trigger Points
Trigger points are tender areas of muscle that cause pain. The areas where this occurs have decreased circulation, increased contraction, and spasm. Heightened nerve sensitivity causes pain. Tender points may be associated with tinnitus, tension headaches, low back pain, temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and decreased range of motion in affected areas. Muscle areas affected by trigger points feel hard to touch compared to surrounding areas. They may also cause pain in areas further away. This is known as referred pain.
Trigger point injections are an effective allopathic treatment for this kind of pain; in Homeopathy there are many oral tablets and drops (dilutions) for these types of pains.
