<unk>  pain is pain in muscles or fascia (a type of connective tissue that surrounds muscles). It can occur in distinct, isolated areas of the body. Because any muscle or fascia in the body may be affected, this may cause a variety of localized symptoms. Generally speaking, the muscular pain is steady, aching, and deep. Depending on the case and location the intensity can range from mild discomfort to excruciating and "lightning-like". Knots may be visible or felt beneath the skin. The pain does not resolve on its own, even after typical first-aid self-care such as ice, heat, and rest.<unk> s are characterized by localized pain in an area of repetitive use or trauma with resultant trigger points that cause non-dermatomal pain radiation upon palpation. Autonomic dysfunction and spontaneous EMG activity can be seen in the affected region.
