Muscle and neck pain
Does anyone elsr suffer from muscle and neck pain? I feel the weakness in limbs but the pain really bothers me.
Omg yessss. IT feels like my head is extra heavy and my neck is struggling to hold it up. Granted my head is quite large but, it weighs on my shoulders like a ton of bricks..I have to support it with pillows on some days.
Sighs from the bighead girlie.Yes
Yes, neck and back muscle pain Plus upper arm pain and hand and feet pain. Ortho doctors found medium amount of arthritis in my hands and feet. How do I know if pain is from arthritis of if it's the MG? Anyone else wonder?
Noone knows the difference! If I ask my GP which it is, he replies"yes". I have had several misdiagnoses due to the complications of MG. When I had difficulty swallowing, I TWICE had a Shatsky's Ring procedure, where they shoved an expander down my throat to expand the sphincter between my esophogus and stomach. It was almost 8 years before I recognized that was my MG that was causing it. I am now having hand (& foot)problems, and cannot distinguish between arthritis & MG problems. I will be 89 in 2 months & if I go to geritrician, he will be 40 years younger than me, and will not know which end is up. I have been living with MG for the past 35 years & haven't croaked yet! Symptoms come & go, and you are lucky if you recognize them on your own. Most MD's will tell you they have several patients with the disease, but after a while, you recognize that you are the only one.
Oh my YES
