Hip and groin pain are often described as dully piercing, frequently strongest in the morning and improving with movement and heat.
Back and Lower-Back Pain
Problems in the area of the lower back often manifest themselves as a stabbing or isolated radiating pain.

Frequently, this type of pain is coupled with a limited range of motion and can radiate from the neck region into the shoulder, arms or head.
Headaches
There is hardly anyone does not know about headaches and who has not suffered from these occasionally.
But: not every headache is the same.
Mandibular and Facial Pain
