A member asked:

Sore muscles and joints but no apparent reason for them. kidneys hurt a little. could i just be dehydrated? or is it something more?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many causes: Without more history, i can only provide a differential diagnosis list: fibromyalgia, polymyalgia, prodrome of rheumatoid arthritis, and other inflammatory diseases such as takayasu's arteritis and other forms of vasculitis. Hope this helps.
