Word of the Day: Kinesalgia

Kinesalgia
(n.)
Definition: pain associated with movement of muscles.
Parent language: Dictionary.com didn't have the parent language, but I'm going to assume that because this word is related to the word "kinetic" (of or relating to movement), it, too, comes from Greek.

Sentence: The serum that Max's captors forced him to drink caused him incredible pain every time he moved; the kinesalgia was unbearable, and he eventually broke down and told his enemies the information that they were seeking.
Please post a better sentence in the comments!
