Myalgia or Muscular Rheumatism

In this form of the disease, it is the muscles that are affected more than the joints. The muscles, the coverings of bones, the sheathes running between the muscles-planes (fascia) are the seat of pain and stiffness, and often it is difficult for the patient to say if it is the muscles or their nerves that are the seat of attack. In the acute stage, there may be fever; in chronic stage there is none. But the pains come and go in such prompt response to weather-condition that the patient may be said to be a living barometer.

Myalgia may affect the neck (stiff or wry-neck or torticollis), the shoulders (omalgia), the sides of chest (pleurodynia), or the loins (lumbago).

Cause—Same as in the case of rheumatism. (See acute rheumatism.)
