A member asked:

I have muscle pain on the right side of my body. a spot hurts for a couple days then stops only to be taken over by a new spot for a couple days. why?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

This is not clear: This is not a simple answer. The spots could be part of the same medical problem, and it may be a benign type of pain syndrome called myofacial pain. However you need an evaluation by your physician to see if there are other causes of your symptoms

Muscle hurts: You probably have fibromyalgia. Please consult your doctor.
