Pain or soreness in ligaments or connective tissue, often caused by strain, injury, or overuse.
From Greek 'desmos' (bond, ligament) + 'dynia' (pain). Medical term combining the tissue type with a symptom description.
Desmodynia is that specific pain you feel when you've stretched a ligament—it's different from muscle pain because ligaments heal much more slowly and complain longer!
