For the past few months I have been having muscle aches daily in various parts of my body (arms, back of legs, lower back). The muscle aches have a feeling like when you have'nt exercised for a while, and you just start back at the gym. I also get on and off flu like symptoms occasionally. The problem is I have not worked out - A few times a week I also have been feeling a need to stretch my legs while laying in bed at night. It is like a discomfort almost like restless legs, I just want to stretch them (it is a weird feeling inside). I have had various blood tests done (they even checked for rhemtoid arthritis) and everything came back fine, except my sed rate which was at 67. They said there is either and infection or inflammation in the body and under the CSC the RDW came back at 16.4. Doc said this is something about cell measurement??? Well, what do you think this could possibly be ? My doc did not seem worried about the sed rate cause everything else was okay. He said they would repeat it in 3 mos - well I do not want to continue with these symptoms for three months. What else should I have them test for?
Does this sound like Lyme disease to you? I do live in a wood type area and have a dog. Please give me your thoughts. I miss feeling 100%.
PS - I have to take a muscle ache type Tylenol or Ibuprofen just to function or I feel like I cannot get anything done. Once I take the Tylentol or Inuprofen I feel a little better.
