X50-X57: Overexertion, travel and privation
X50: Overexertion and strenuous or repetitive movements
Overexertion and strenuous or repetitive movements refer to a group of conditions that occur when your body is pushed beyond its physical limit or do the same motion over and over. These conditions can occur in various parts of the body, including muscles, joints, and the backbone. They usually result from high-intensity physical activities such as heavy lifting, pushing, pulling, or sporting activities, but they can also be caused by less intense, repetitive activities like typing or assembly line work. Common symptoms include pain during movement, muscle cramps or spasms, weakness, and sometimes swelling or stiffness. Over time, if the activity causing the overexertion is not reduced or modified, these conditions can lead to more serious health problems such as chronically inflamed tendons or irreversible nerve damage. It's also important to note that these issues are often progressive, with symptoms worsening over time if not addressed.
