Suggest Treatment For Persistent Muscle Pain After An Accident

I recently have seen a doctor for muscle pain in my legs and upper arms...it started about 4 months ago after tripping over a dog. Oh I am 57 and female....when I saw the doctor the second time they mentioned the possibility of a muscle virus and did more blood work and had me get a chest X-ray to rule out pneumonia...I know I don t have pneumonia. Is it possible I have developed fibromyalgia?

hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

By reading the history mentioned by you, what I can understand is you don't have fibromyalgia nor any other issue. Since your age is 57, fall at this age is not good. Now since you mentioned you have pain, what is the nature of the pain, if the nature of pain is numbness, tingling, radiating then you might have spine issue. If not, then you are safe. Also, since the cause of the pain is unknown, you should perform regular breathing exercises and general body exercises as to improve the cellualr metabolism by which the pain level can be lowered and eliminated. Also, at this age you need to be careful about everything. And I am sure you do not have fibromyalgia at all.
