A number of factors could be contributing to your wide-spread pain. I would advise any one who has not seen their primary care doctor to schedule a visit and request a physical evaluation, which may include routine blood work. A physical therapy evaluation may also help guide you to determine whether or not your pain has a musculoskeletal origin, which could then further be addressed with physical therapy treatment, home exercises, or behavioral/ lifestyle modifications.

Often, an image does not correlate with the presence or absence of pain. Having an evaluation by a physical therapist (PT) can help address any associated impairments that may be contributing to the irritation you are experiencing. Just like having your teeth checked regularly by a dentist, it is a wise idea to have your physical body assessed by a PT on a regular basis! Talk to your primary care doctor about receiving a script for therapy to address your pain, or seek out a physical therapist geographically close to you that accepts direct access patients (meaning an initial script from a doctor is not required).
