Question 1

why would antihistamines make me feel unwell, every time i take them i get muscle/bone pain/ache. cant see anyone else mention this as a side effect.

Accepted Answer

About feeling unwell: "Feeling unwell" means different things to different people. It is hard to guess what one person means when she says "feeling unwell." Some antihistamines can have some side effects such as:  drowsiness, headache, dizziness, agitation (restlessness or moodiness in children), dry mouth, dry eyes, blurred vision, difficulty peeing (urinary retention), etc...

Question 2

hi, have lots of bone and muscle pain and aches , under my foot hurts, alkaline phosphatase level 25, b6 level 25.4 and vitamind level 8.what cause that?

Accepted Answer

Low vitamin D: A vitamin d level of 8 is very low.  You need to take vitamin d.  Take 5000iu of vitamin d3 daily.  Low d causes osteoporosis and that is why your foot hurts.

Question 3

i have muscle and bone pain also sore throat groin  pain dry skin i have test negative for hiv in 3 month can i have hiv?

Accepted Answer

Conceivably: There are unusual cases of HIV disease in which the patient does not become measurably antibody positive for up to 6 months.  The probability is that you do not have this, but does not hurt to be tested.  The alternative is to measure your serum for the presence of HIV RNA by pcr, but this can be expensive.  Use protected sex.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Flu versus Stress: This is not an std. It is fatigue from either the flu or a flu-like illness or the effect of a lot of anxiety and stress interrupting your sleep and nutrition.

Question 5

is bone pain and muscle cramping common with mild to moderate crps?

Accepted Answer

Bone and muscle pain: Crps is not a common or easy diagnosis to make with a recent onset of symptoms that are not cause by trauma of any kind, so, please consult with your primary care physician first for a thorough exam and potential referral to a specialist.

Question 6

unracked a barbell, stood in the squat position-it felt like a giant nerve around clavicle moved. now have collar bone pain and muscle tightness..

Accepted Answer

Get checked: Sounds as if you injured either a muscle or nerve in the area.  An exam with a possible EMG with x-ray studies would help diagnosis what is likely.  Good luck.

Question 7

i have pain in middle of my humerus bone when i press firmly. could it be my muscle? scared of leukaemia and what would their bone pain feel like?

Accepted Answer

Not leukemia: What you described does not comport with leukemia. More than likely it is muscular as you surmised.

Question 8

i have had upper front thigh off and on for a few months. not sure if it muscle or bone pain? how can you tell difference? it hurts both standing or laying down and it seems to hurt worse at night. i don't recall doing anything unusual to cause it. seems

Accepted Answer

A Neuralgia: Anterior thigh pain that comes and goes is likely a soft tissue problem and meralgia paresthetica is a good bet.  See a Neurologist. The cause is oft related to wearing a tight waistband or wide firm belt that presses into the anterior thigh and bruises a nerve that transits longitudinally along the anterior thigh.

Question 9

how are bone pain or muscle pain different?

Accepted Answer

Difficult to say: I am not sure anyone can answer this question. Pain is generally either soft tissue or joint rather than bone or muscle.

Question 10

how to tell the difference between muscle and bone pain?

Accepted Answer

Muscle vs bone pain: Bone pain is usually deeper and more constant. Muscular pain is over the muscle fibers and more obvious with movement over the affected area.
