Dealing with Tender Muscles: Seeking Advice

Does anyone else have very tender muscles? I know muscle weakness is common but just rubbing my back makes the muscles so tender and painful. Like a simple touch feels like somebody hit me. Is this EDS or something else?

I don't think it's eds itself, bit more as a result. I have very similar feelings, especially around my joints that like to move around a lot. Usually it's just because of soreness and tightness as by body tries to compensate. Hope that helps!
