4. Repetitive Strain
Repetitive strain injuries are considered one of the most common causes of myofascial pain syndrome, and it can make the condition a lot worse if you have been diagnosed with it or suffer any of the associated symptoms.
Symptoms of myofascial pain syndrome can include pain or swelling in the muscles, and muscle knots might even be visible from the outside where they can be seen or felt.
Repetitive strain tends to happen in any muscle or joint where activity happens over and over again, sometimes hobbies like painting, and other times its career-related activities such as typing that triggers it.
There are ways to cut down on repetitive strain and the damage that it can do to the joints and muscles. Start by taking a look at whatever might be causing the associated repetitive strain and see where you can take a break to rest the affected body part.
