I have inflamation in my muscle. what can i do?

First test: First, determine if it is true inflammation. Some muscles hurt without being truly inflamed. Your doctor can run tests such as sedimentation rate, creatine kinase, and aldolase to see if muscle inflammation or damage are occurring. If the answer is yes, the cause needs to be determined while treatment is started.
