Posted on Wed, 26 Aug 2015
Question: I have had soreness to the touch, my entire body is sore to the touch. I have had MRI's, nerve conduction tests, blood tests, Doppler on legs, all negative. I have pressure on a nerve in my lower back, I was unable to stand at one time, went for injections in that area that really helped. But still have pain to the touch.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that whatever symptoms you are telling are compatible with a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia in which there are lot of tender points and muscle are very sour . But still I would like to ask you regarding your Vitamin D , Calcium levels , Thyroid status , CPK , as all these are mandatory before reaching a diagnosis . Also in case you are taking any drug that belongs to statin group for lowering of cholesterol , please tell me that .

In case you have any queries . please fell free to ask.

Take care.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,

Thank you for reverting back.

Well , if your CPK levels are normal I am not worried . In my opinion it seems to be due to Fibromyalgia that you are getting all these symptoms . You can also read about this and discuss with your doctor regarding the same.
