muscle pain

Post-workout body ache

Muscle pain is soreness, aching, or discomfort in the body's muscular tissue, typically from overexertion, injury, tension, or illness.

The term appears in medical contexts and everyday speech: I've had muscle pain since yesterday's workout.

Muscle pain can be localized or widespread, as with flu-related body aches.
