What is diffuse pain?

Diffuse pain is a type of pain that is felt throughout the entire body or over a larger area than a specific location. It can be described as a dull or aching sensation and is often difficult to pinpoint to a specific point of origin. Diffuse pain can be caused by a variety of conditions, such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, autoimmune disorders, or viral infections. It may also be a side effect of certain medications or treatments. Diffuse pain can be disruptive to daily life and can severely impact a person's quality of life if not managed properly. Treatment options may include pain medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes.
