Brief Answer:
Is he on any medications? Any recent changes in sporting activities?

Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this pain that your husband has in his muscles. This common among persons taking drugs for high cholesterol. I will like to know if your husband by any chance is on such a medication. Simply list all the medications he’s on for my review. Another common cause is strain during unusually intensive physical exercise, if there has been any change with this, please let me know.

For now, continue with Ibuprofen and consider adding tylenol if pains persist. In addition, let him drink much water in order to ensure that the kidneys are working great. If you must see a doctor, the best specialist to see is a rheumatologist.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
Note: For further queries, consult a joint and bone specialist, an Orthopaedic surgeon. Book a Call now.
