I’ve been experiencing mild body aches that come and go with clicking joints and stomach pain

Posted , 3 users are following.

Mid way through November I felt really unwell (the normal flu) and went to the doctors which they said was just a viral infection. That past and I felt better then at the start of December I started to feel unwell being sick , lose of apitite , chest pain, post nasal drip which makes me feel sick and getting muscle aches that would come and go with stiff and clicking joints but with very little fatigue. I would also experience stomach pain which has gotten slightly better now I’ve been to the doctors 3 times with 2 blood tests which the first come back as high liver enzymes which went down in the second one but apart from that everything was fine apart from slight inflammation. I also had a chest X-ray and a liver scan which came back fine and was going to go back to the doctors again but I know he’s going to say the same thing this concerns me as I am only 16 and feel clicks and aches randomly and with other symptoms I’m not completely bed ridden but it does effect my as I usually play football everyday but since I’ve felt this I’ve stopped.

    Your so young for these problems. Looks like you had all the tests done to be sure it's nothing serious. As far as ur joints the clicks are normal but they should not be painful to you. I have been sick with mucas and nose drip since Martin Luther King day. This season has had many virus circulating around. You need to drink lots of fluids, rest and wait out this terrible virus season. We have about 8 more weeks to go. If you are still not feeling well at that time you need to find a new Dr and start from scratch. Make sure you get copies of all tests. Stay strong and positive thoughts.

      The aches and all can last up to 12-14 days. You may not feel 100 percent for 20 days. You need to watch your breathing for pneumonia. If you feel like your are struggling then call 911. Cool mist humidifier is also good for you. Hang in there.

      Azithromycin will stop the infection. It is a very strong type of antibiotic. You're halfway there hang in there. Keep up with the breathing treatments that's the albuterol. That albuterol will go deep into your lungs where you needed to go. You may have side effects with the albuterol the worst side effects will only be a little jittery. It's like drinking two cups of coffee in a row. It's tolerable so you just have to deal with it. The body aches should start to subside in a few days. Then you will start your recovery on the up-and-up. You need to get a chest x-ray within the next week to make sure you're right lower lung has cleared up. Make sure you follow up with your doctor mid-week. If you're breathing changes for the worse you need to go to the emergency room. You will know if you're breathing gets worse it is called retractions where you breathe in and out and you can see your ribs. That means you are struggling to get your breath. Pneumonia is nothing to fool around with. Drink lots of fluids take the albuterol vintage the zithro myosin and make sure when you sleep you sleep in an upright position. Two pillows behind your head. You do not want the mucus to settle all into your chest. Keep yourself always in an upright position. It might not be comfortable but it will work. Make sure when you cough you bring up all of the mucus and either spit it out or swallow it and it will go through your digestive system. Always bring up the mucus as much as you can bring up. Keep me posted.
