Symptoms suggestive of musculoskeletal disorder.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HeathcareMagic.
The symptoms described by you are suggestive of a musculoskeletal disorder.
There is muscle spasms, joint pain, muscle contraction which are pertaining to musculoskeletal disorders.
I suggest you to get few investigations for musculoskeletal disorder.
An extractable nuclear antibody panel is a set of investigations which detects antibodies against muscles and connective tissues.
In addition, ESR may also be done which is increased in inflammatory conditions.
Further management may be planned after result of these investigations.
You may consult your physician for prescription of these investigations.
Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja Puri
