Symptom 8. Joint and Muscle Pain
Joint and muscle pain can be another symptom experienced by individuals with dairy allergies. The immune system’s response to milk proteins can cause inflammation throughout the body, leading to pain and discomfort in the joints and muscles.
In some cases, joint and muscle pain may be accompanied by stiffness, making it difficult to move freely and perform daily activities. This symptom can be particularly challenging to manage, as it may impact an individual’s overall quality of life.
To manage joint and muscle pain related to dairy allergies, it is important to avoid dairy products and consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment. Physical therapy, gentle exercise, and anti-inflammatory medications may be recommended to help manage pain and improve mobility. (7)
