Myalgia
Myalgia (also called muscle pain and muscle ache in layman's terms) is the medical term for muscle pain. Myalgia is a symptom of many diseases. The most common cause of acute myalgia is the overuse of a muscle or group of muscles; another likely cause is viral infection, especially when there has been no trauma. Long-lasting myalgia can be caused by metabolic myopathy, some nutritional deficiencies, and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Examples of myalgia in a Sentence
Pain was the most common event, young children's events included fever, headache, fatigue, myalgia, arthralgia, nausea, vomiting and chills. For infants and toddlers, events included fever, irritability, crying, sleepiness and loss of appetite.
The important thing to note here is the initial features are largely kind of nonspecific symptoms, which at initial presentation -- or when a patient starts to become symptomatic -- may seem kind of mild and not that clinically significant -- things like headaches, lethargy, chills, myalgia, later features include severe headache, some focal signs, in one case severe abdominal pain, bruising, swelling in the lower extremities.
