About the Symptom
Pain throughout the body occurs when the muscles, tendons, joints, and other connective tissues hurt. It can be described as sharp, dull, aching, stabbing or throbbing pain.
When to See a Doctor
Seek professional care if you experience any of the following symptoms
- Whole body pain
Possible Causes
Generally, Whole body pain can be related to:
- Fibromyalgia
A condition causing widespread pain and muscle aches throughout the body that may come and go with certain identified triggers. The cause is not well understood.
- Cancer Pain
Cancer pain occurs when cancer grows into or invades nearby bone and tissue. As the cancer expands, it can press on surrounding nerves, bones, and organs, causing pain. The tumor can also release chemicals that cause pain.
- Amyloidosis
A disease in which "amyloid," an abnormal type of protein, accumulates in various organs, causing damage. Affected areas can include the heart, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract. The causes are diverse.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
- Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy
- Spinal Cord Tumor
- Influenza (Flu)
- IgA Vasculitis (Henoch-Schonlein Purpura)
- Vitamin B12 Deficiency
Related Serious Diseases
Sometimes, Whole body pain may be related to these serious diseases:
- Decompression Sickness
Decompression sickness (also called "the bends") refers to problems caused by a rapid decrease in surrounding pressure (either air or water). This causes gases to dangerously shift out of the bloodstream. It most commonly occurs during scuba diving when surfacing too quickly. Rarely, it can happen in airplanes, typically in military pilots traveling at high speeds through upper and lower atmosphere layers.

User Testimonials for Whole body pain
Male, 70s
For years, I have experienced chronic pain, deep and radiating throughout my body along with extreme, debilitating fatigue. I have lupus, but thankfully, I have been in remission for a considerable time and haven't had severe symptoms. However, when I mentioned my pain and related issues to my doctor, the response was always the same: "Lupus is painful." I am very familiar with the joint stiffness and swelling from my SLE. The exhaustion and widespread pain I felt were something different. I felt unheard. I began to feel as though everyone thought I was imagining things. Out of frustration, I searched on Google, not expecting answers but unsure what else to do, which is when I found Ubie. The Ubie symptom checker was user-friendly, and remarkably, as I progressed through the questions, I became hopeful that I would finally get the answer I was looking for. The symptom checker's questions were so spot-on. It identified several previously unconsidered factors as relevant based solely on my initial two reported symptoms. After downloading the report and consulting my physician, I felt well-prepared and confident presenting this information. My doctor concurred with Ubie's fibromyalgia callout and prescribed an antidepressant, which has proven beneficial. I express my sincere gratitude to the developers for providing this empowering tool.
