What Causes Muscle Pain And Weakness?

I have been having a lot of muscle pain and weakness. This has been on going for a few years now and I have noticed I have been getting worse. My main symptoms are: muscle pain in all/most muscles. Pain feels like Charlie horses in my calves/thighs, and throbbing pain in my bi and triceps. Some times it hurts to touch my skin on my arms, like they are bruised. I have also had trouble speaking, meaning I forget what word to use, stutter or slur my speech. I stammer a lot as well, and use wrong words or mis pronounce words. When I go up stairs, my legs feel like they want to stop. So I have to rest them. After I use my arms to mop the floor or do dishes or any house work, I feel like I have lifted 100 pound weights, and then I cannot open any jars, or packages after using my arms. This would be the weakness. I also have tingling in my hands and feet off and on. I have uncontrollable muscle twitching or spasms. This happens in every part of my body including my eye lids, lips, arms, legs etc. I never run a fever or have troubles swallowing, breathing etc. I have other stuff going on as well, but wanted to mention these first.

Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hi,

It is purely neurological problem. So you should consult neurologist. You are having anxiety neurosis, tingling and spasm is due to nerve irritation. Stammering and slurring of voice can be neurological problem. your neurological check up should be in detail.

You can start taking injection Neurobion on alternate day. With this treatment there will be improvement. What are other associated problem that you may send in brief. While treatment keep a watch on improvement. By the by you may take second opinion.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ashok Kumar Dash,
