Had Myositis. Standing Most Of The Time During Work. Is It Caused Due To Virus?
Hi last year I had myositis and it took 3 months to feel better. I just got a job where I stand on my feet for 4-8 hours and feel like it could be coming back. The doctor said it could have been caused by a virus. I am 54 years old female, and have been very active all my life. This is not easy to take, as I Never had this aching in my leg before. Thank you Paula
