Musculoskeletal pain is an acute or chronic sensory symptom arising from damage, strain, inflammation, or functional impairment within the somatic structures of the locomotor system Pathophysiologically, it commonly involves mechanical or biochemical activation of peripheral nociceptors, localized inflammatory mediator release, and in chronic or widespread presentations, peripheral and central nervous system sensitization Clinically, it typically manifests as deep, aching, sharp, or throbbing di...
