Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a 56 year old female, always been in good health. I m on no medications. For the last few months I have had alot of body pain. Feels like my joints and my muscles. I am overweight, 5 8 and 200 pounds but I walk a few times a week with a friend four miles. I feel fine while I m walking but when i sit for any length of time even just a few minutes I move very slowly when I get up because of joint and muscle pain.
The muscle and joint pain seem to be related to the overweight. I suggest using a muscle relaxant such a Baclofen. I also suggest using daily magnesium supplement.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
