A member asked:

What could be a reason for sharp muscle pains? i have taken stating meds for a few years, but pain started about a couple of years ago?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more data: Where? Which muscles? How long the pain lasts? What makes it better and what makes it worse? As you can see we need to know more to help you. Possible causes - inflammed muscle, electrolyte imbalance, myofascial pain, but your evaluation will help define these possibilities.
