A member asked:

What can be causing my whole body to ache all the time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many possibilities: Almost any illness can cause aches and pains. If it is chronic and all over the body, one possibility is fibromyalgia. This is a syndrome of increased sensitivity to pain that is often caused by depression, lack of exercise, and poor sleep quality. Your doctor can do further testing to rule out other more serious conditions.
