Myofascial pain is associated with muscle tenderness that arises from trigger points, focal points of tenderness, a few millimeters in diameter, found at multiple sites in a muscle and the fascia of muscle tissue. Biopsy tests found that trigger points were hyperirritable and electrically active muscle spindles in general muscle tissue. [13]
Localized muscle pain; Trigger points that activate the pain (MTrPs) Generally speaking, the muscular pain is steady, aching, and deep. Depending on the case and location the intensity can range from mild discomfort to excruciating and "lightning-like". Knots may be visible or felt beneath the skin.

C. tetani is commonly found in soil, saliva, dust, and manure. The bacteria generally enter through a break in the skin, such as a cut or puncture wound caused by a contaminated object. [1] [3] They produce toxins that interfere with normal muscle contractions. [4] Diagnosis is based on the presenting signs and symptoms.
The main symptoms include several kinds of skin rash along with muscle weakness in both upper arms or thighs. [8] Although dermatomyositis is closely related to polymyositis and is sometimes assumed to be a complication of that disease, most patients with dermatomyositis develop skin symptoms before any muscle involvement.
