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.
What Causes Stiff Leg Muscles, Sore Forearms And Pain In Elbows Radiating To Wrist?
What type of physician should I seek out for another opinion or more detailed review? I was told arthritis and tennis elbow by general practitioner. I m not confident the diagnosis is correct. Basic blood tests were normal except one panel for Lyme came back abnormal. BP 110 / 70 which is typical for me over several years. Male age 53. Symptoms onset over last few months. General lethargy / inability to get refreshed from sleeping. I have a general feeling of weakness, my leg muscles are very stiff when waking or after sitting, and in last few weeks, developed significant pain / soreness on top area of both forearms radiating pain from near the elbows roughly half way down the forearm towards the wrists when holding even lightweight objects. I don t have any joint pain anywhere....it all seems like stiff or painful muscles. No swelling and no fevers. Thank you.
After having gone through your history diligently I am of the opinion that you seem to be suffering from fibromyalgia apparently caused by Lyme disease.
It is characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues.
I would recommend you to consult a physician for further evaluation and appropriate treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
