- Pain from a tumor that is pressing on body organs, nerves, or bones
poor blood circulation - Blockage of an organ or canal in the body
- Metastasis (cancer cells that have spread to other sites in the body)
- Infection or inflammation
- Side effects from chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery
- Stiffness from inactivity
- Psychological responses to tension, depression, or anxiety
