- Muscle Strain
During our lifetime we can experience aches and pains, back conditions or muscle strains. Some of these may result from our work practices. What causes MSDs? A variety of workplace hazards exist that can lead to workers developing a MSD. [comcare.gov.au]

- Muscle Spasm
Some possible causes of pain or ache include: Poor posture Repetitive Strain Trauma (direct and indirect) Muscle strain Muscle spasm Pressure on the inter-vertebral discs Nerve compression or entrapment Fractures Arthritis Osteoporosis How Can Musculoskeletal [complementarytherapy.com.sg]
Pain with muscle spasm suggests that pain is caused by a muscle disorder (sometimes a chronic spinal cord injury). [merckmanuals.com]
The pain can also include muscle spasms and cramps. Tendon and ligament pain: Pains in the tendons or ligaments are often caused by injuries, including sprains. [my.clevelandclinic.org]
They suggest that muscle spasm is the initial abnormality inducing ischaemia which in turn leads to release of substance P, a neuropeptide, and the nociceptive barrage that is perhaps necessary to produce a self sustaining pain syndrome. [wellnomics.com]
- Bone Pain
Bone pain is usually deep, penetrating, or dull. It commonly results from injury. Other less common causes of bone pain include bone infection ( osteomyelitis ), hormone disorders, and tumors. [merckmanuals.com]
It is important to be sure that the pain is not related to a fracture or tumor. Muscle pain: This is often less intense than bone pain, but it can still be debilitating. [my.clevelandclinic.org]

Etiology
The NRC/IOM report concluded, and other reviewers internationally have concurred, that the etiologic importance of occupational ergonomic stressors for the occurrence of MSDs of the low back and upper extremities has been demonstrated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
July 1997 DHHS (NIOSH) Publication Number 97-141 Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) were recognized as having occupational etiologic factors as early as the beginning of the 18th century. [cdc.gov]

Abstract Ergonomics and epidemiology are unique fields that share some common interests. Epidemiologic methods are increasingly being utilized in ergonomic studies of the work-related risk factors of musculoskeletal disorders. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This document is the most comprehensive compilation to date of the epidemiologic research on the relation between selected MSDs and exposure to physical factors at work. [cdc.gov]
Pathophysiology
However, the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying WMSDs are not well understood, especially the early events in their development. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Stress Management Littlejohn [6,7] contends that emotional stress, when intense, translates easily into central sensitisation which is the core pathophysiological event in chronic pain syndrome development. [wellnomics.com]
You can witness how radiology specialists and practitioners are increasing their knowledge and expertise of the anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and techniques of this imaging tool. [libreriacortinamilano.it]
Prevention
EU-OSHA monitors the incidence, causes and prevention of MSDs. EU-OSHA also supports the sharing of good practices. [osha.europa.eu]
With a view to improving the efficacy of interventions, this review examined preventative actions relating to these disorders. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
