Aches and pains affecting the muscles and joints of the body are a normal part of life, but nevertheless they can make it harder for you to carry out some or all of your usual day-to-day activities which can leave you feeling worried and frustrated. However, many of the conditions that cause these aches and pains can be easily treated by you, at home.
