What is going on?
Posted: Sat May 18, 2013 9:38 pm
Hi,
I have been having muscle fatigue or weakness and pain in my upper back from around midday each day. It appears to me that if I try and have a normal physical day, (no marathon, just house cleaning or normal work activities) all of my back muscles get sore and I must rest them. Unless I lie down for a few hours they continue to ache. Any use of my back muscles brings this on.
The problem is I work 9 to 5 and often feel I can't go on by 2 pm. It occurs every day unless I spend it in bed.
I don't understand what is going on. Physically my upper back is not out of shape, and I do not feel exhausted, yet my whole upper back feels like I had spent the day digging trenches. I am worried about my work. They are unaware I have ms and I would like to keep it that way.
Has anyone had similar symptoms and can they be treated with medication. I have been on gilenya for almost 2 years and my only other tablets I take are vitamin d, multis and anti NSAIDs.
I am not due to see my ms specialist till end of June. Should I let her know earlier?
I would be grateful for your thoughts or suggestions.
