The different types of muscle pain

Muscle pain ("myalgia") is most often associated with excessive muscular activity when it occurs afterwards. If they occur during effort, or without any effort at all, they may be the sign of a muscle disease, or linked to a virus, medication or a more complex illness.

How can muscle pain be treated with drugstore medication?

Most cramps disappear spontaneously within a few minutes. In the event of pain, it is always possible to take an oral analgesic.

Treatment of muscle pain depends on the cause. Pain or inflammation medications can be prescribed to relieve symptoms, either orally or by massage. Muscle relaxants are sometimes useful for short periods, to treat painful muscle contractures, for example after an injury. By relaxing the muscle, they help combat pain. Other non-medicated relaxation methods are also used, such as warm wraps, massages and relaxation.

Local treatments can relieve aches and pains by massaging the painful area without a medical prescription. These preparations contain a variety of substances: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or salicylates for their analgesic effect, camphor, eucalyptus or menthol for the revulsive effect (causing a sensation of heat), muscle relaxants.

Muscle relaxants (or myorelaxants) can be prescribed, generally for short periods, as adjunctive treatment for painful muscle contractures, e.g. after an injury. By relaxing the muscle, they help combat pain.

Everyone suffers from occasional muscle pain, especially as we age. While many active and athletic people know the benefits of stretching to counter the muscle stiffness that follows physical activity, people living with HIV are prone to more serious muscle ailments, such as pain, cramps and muscle disorders that cause weakness. The pain in question often affects the back, hips and lower limbs.

To distinguish between mild and more serious muscular problems, it's very important to consult your doctor when problems arise. This is not the time to diagnose yourself. Muscle problems may be relatively harmless, but they could also be the result of a serious problem that only a doctor can properly diagnose.

Report any muscle weakness or pain to your doctor so that a thorough evaluation can be made to determine the cause. It's particularly important to rule out the possibility that neurological diseases (whether HIV-related or not) are at the root of your symptoms.

Your pharmacist's advice on taking the right painkillers

• Muscle pain often improves within a few days. You can use anti-inflammatories, especially topical ones, to ease the pain. Ask your pharmacist for advice. If muscle pain intensifies and becomes unbearable, consult your doctor.

• It is recommended not to take painkillers for more than five days without medical advice.

• Do not hesitate to contact your doctor again if the prescribed treatment does not provide sufficient pain relief.
• Drink plenty of water regularly during exercise.
• Warm up and stretch properly before and after exercise.
• After-effort massages help eliminate toxins accumulated in the muscles, enabling faster recovery.
