Acute musculoskeletal pain: Acute musculoskeletal pain is pain perceived within an area of the body, and assumed to occur from the muscles, joints, or bones in that area. Excluded from the definition is pain due to severe local causes, such as fractures, tumors, or infections, and general and neural reasons. Types of pain are named according to the area affected, e.g., neck pain, back pain, elbow pain, shoulder pain, hip pain, buttock pain, ankle pain, and knee pain. Musculoskeletal pain is so common as to be observed, by some, as a normal part of life. Severe causes of this disease are uncommon. Most episodes are self-limiting. Economic costs occur when acute musculoskeletal pain is examined and treated unnecessarily.
