Should a muscular pull be sore for 9 months and be bilateral?
Brief Answer:
Exclude vitamin deficiency and thyroid disease.

As it is bilateral and last so longer so it is unlikely to be due muscle pull . You need to investigate it as already discussed by vitamin levels. You should also exclude thyroid disease by thyroid function test( T3, T4 and TSH).You are also get your rheumatoid function to rule out rheumatoid arthritis .
Everything else already discussed.
