What Is The Remedy For Muscle Fatigue?
Hi, I have fluid retention mainly in my hands, feet and ankles accompanied by muscle fatigue in my limbs up to my buttocks. I have recently started Endep medication as my usual medicaton Tofrinal is out of stock in Australia. I have had blood tests and are waiting for the results. My main concern is the muscle fatigue which feels like they need to rest ie if I walk up the hallway or now that I am typing my muscles feel tired, pulled and can at times cramp.
