What Is The Cause For Muscle Pain In Hands And Feet?

My hands and feet have been uncomfortable for a few months now, and i don't really remember when or how it started. Specifically, it's in the palm area for the hands and the center of the foot (middle, near the arc of the foot).

It's not swelling and there's no sign of any outer damage. It's just feels like I always have a muscle pain

Hello dear,

In absence of any trauma or injury, the symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to:
1. Deficiency of certain nutrients like Iron, Vitamin B 12, Calcium, Magnesium, etc.
2. Any fluctuation in blood pressure levels
3. Altered blood sugar levels
4. Inadequate hydration & nutrition status.
5. Peripheral neuropathy.
Investigations like complete blood count, estimation of blood pressure and blood sugar levels will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.

Symptomatic relief can be obtained with nervigenic agents (like Vit B6, B12, Folic acid) as well as multivitamin & mineral supplementation.
Use of heating pad, application of analgesic+muscle relaxant gel & physiotherapy exercises will also be helpful.

There is no need to worry, you will be fine.
Meanwhile, maintain adequate hydration, take a healthy balanced diet & avoid stress.

Wishing a good health.
Take care.
