Greetings to the Group:
I am a 50 year old male with a long history of musculoskeletal complaints and some admitted health anxiety. I've been doing well with both for a while now but have had a recent setback. I have a long history of muscle pain, back pain, hip and groin pain, tremors, spasms, twitches etc. I just had my physical and discussed my recent symptoms with my Doctor who is not overly concerned. I'd like to tell you my current symptoms and my work up and see if anyone can relate and if I might have this syndrome.
I've been dealing with a lot of the muscle pain in my mid to lower back for weeks, months now, seems like a bad flare. In addition to that over the past weeks I have been experiencing widepread tightness and a stiffness and precramping sensation in several muscles, forearms, back, neck, calves and hamstrings. The hamstrings are especially painful and hard to loosen. I have decent flexibility still when I do my stretches but the feeling won't stop. I just feel like I am going to cramp up and/or pull a muscle, but neither have actually happened. I am having muscle pain in both legs, forearms, calves and neck muscles.
I just had some xrays of the back hips and sacroliac joints, no major issues but some mild out of alignement type stuff. I am seeing a chiropractor who is helping with the groin pain by releasing the psoas muscles which are very tight.
I am also recoveirng from a recent episode of Non Bacterial Prostatitis (which is considered by many to be a condition stemming from chronic muscle tension in the pelvis)
My recent workup includes MRI of the Brain, Inflammation marker tests Sed Rate, Lyme, C Reactive and HLA B27 all normal
Recent(2 years) normal colonoscopy and Endsccopy)
Comp metabolic panel and hemogram with differential basically normal. (Mildly elevated Calcium, highest level of still normal range)
Normal Urinalysis
Low but normal B12
Normal Vitamin D (previously deficient) I take 5000 IU per day.
Normal Magnesium (this was 6 months ago)
Is this a sufficient workup?
Could this be Fibro?
Best,
JC
