Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
recemtly I had a severe UTI undiagnosed for about a week and now I have finished my antibiotics and dr said I would be fine. but now my muscles in my legs and arms are having spasms and feel like they contract tight when I try to walk I cant even finish brushing my teeth with my right arm! I am in a lot of pain and can not do my usual day to day stuff. I am diabetic but its under control with no problem. what is wrong with me? who do I see about this? I hurt so bad when I try to walk or use my arms...
Hi thanks for posting on hcm. From your symptoms I suspect it to be a condition called polymyalgia rheumatica a condition where the proximal muscles are affected causing day to day activities difficult with muscle pains. I recommend you to consult a doctor to get it confirmed and have treated for which usually ssteroids sucha as prednisolone is prescribed. Hope this is helpful to you. Regards.
