Need Help for Pain and Stiffness

Posted By Norma (Illinois, USA) on 07/14/2015

Please can someone help me?? About 2 months ago I woke up and my left cheek butt was hurting soo bad, I could barely walk, this lasted about 1 month, then both of my upper arms started hurting so bad that I could hardly lift them to get dressed, I went to doctor and he put me on a steroid pack & it went completely away, now that I am off of meds, it has came back in my arms again, very painful! I am also very stiff feeling in my legs and also upper body. Can someone please suggest what they think I have and what I can do for it, oh and I also have shortness of breath. I am thinking about going back to dr but I know he will just me back on steroids and I don't really want to do that, I want to get well. Thank you for any info.

Norma, read up on Epsom Salts baths for a start.

I came here for advice on pain relief awhile ago. Someone said google Peter Egoscue. I did and, wow! , did his exercises and am now fantastic. There are videos on utube of him, no cost to look. His book was like $9 on amaz... Best money I've spent in awhile.

I experienced the same type of pain, deep in the muscle especially the largest one on the butt! Come to find out thru a knowledgeable Nurse Practioner that I was vitamin D deficiency. I faithfully took 2000mg of vitamin D3 daily. Slowly I got better and now am free from the muscle pain that also kept me from sleeping well. So get your Vit D level checked.
