What Causes The Sudden Onset Of Severe Body Pain?

Hi. Ihave a 57 year old male friend who has had reasonably sudden onset of severe body pain everywhwere except his jaw and neck approximately 6 to 8 weeks ago. ALso has had nausea for 5 weeks with occasional vomiting.. Hurts everywhwere constantly but worst pain spots seem to move and vary. He is having lab tests and appt with rheumatologist but not for another month. ANA is not back yet. Sed rate was normal at 7. Rh factor was normal at 10. of note, he is on multiple meds for PTSD, depression, anxiety and panic attacks due to severe childhood abuse and trying to go through therapy to recover. Drinks a ton of diet Pepsi a day. I had drug induced lupus 20 years ago. He walks like I did. What do those labs indicate so far? Could he have drug causing this? He has been going thorugh a very bad memory he can t seem to talk about and get rid of and afater doing well for about 10 months has had a lot of anxiety and depression due to it. Could this cause these symptoms?

Hello,

As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.

If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
