Pain In Kidney, Bone. Headache, Swollen Lymph Nodes, Sore Throat, Muscles. High Blood Protein. Right Medication?
I have night sweats, internal (organs - kidneys) pain, chronic deep bone pain and muscle soreness without working out. Also, headaches, swollen lymph nodes for weeks now, and sore throat. Cancer runs in my family. I have had blood tests of all kinds drawn and the only thing that showed was high protein in the blood, red blood cell count was a tiny bit off, and that was about it. Who should I consult and how can I get to the bottom of all of this? I am in the military and it s so hard to get medical attention. Thanks so much.

Hi!
welcome to HCM!
High blood protein may be caused by something as simple as mild dehydration, increasing the concentration of protein in your bloodstream. In this case, the blood proteins only appear to be elevated. High blood protein may also be a warning sign of chronic inflammation or infection. Elevated levels of immune system proteins produced by the bone marrow may raise concerns about certain bone marrow diseases.
Since you have bone and muscle pain,and swollen lymph nodes hence it suggests infection.you must get yourself examined and get medication only after that.
hope this helps!
