If you are experiencing acute back or neck pain, the most common cause is a muscle injury, in which muscle fibers stretch too much and tear. Muscle injury can be caused by repetitive movements that put stress on the area, or by overuse, such as lifting heavy objects.

Sometimes pain in the front or the side of the shoulder can travel down to the elbow and forearm. This is usually caused by overuse or an injury that has caused inflammation in the tendon.  

Do your hips or knees hurt? Most people will at some point have knee or hip pain because these large joints have the demanding task of supporting the full weight of your body and allowing movement at the same time.

When we refer to ankle pain we usually think of an ankle sprain. But pain could also be caused by ankle nerve compression, instability, arthritis, gout, tendonitis, fracture, infection or poor structural alignment of the foot or the leg.
