Myalgia means "muscle pain" and is a symptom of many diseases and disorders. The most common cause for myalgia is either 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.

As a Response to VaccinationA moderate occurrence (25-35%) of myalgia in recipients of tetanus vaccination is identified in the US; it presents in the large muscle groups and at the subcutaneous injection site. When a patient returns with these symptoms (which include fever, poor appetite and lethargy), a clinician who fails to notice the recent tetanus vaccination on the patient's chart is in danger of making a life-threatening misdiagnosis.
Withdrawal SyndromesSudden cessation of opioids, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, or alcohol can induce myalgiae. See alsode:Myalgie
