Might want to see a rheumatologist also, as if this is an autoimmune disease they might be better equipped to to handle and treat. I was finally diagnosed after a biopsy on one of my quads. Condition known as IBM or inclusion body myositis . Good luck
Good luck

So sorry to hear that, the strange thing with my legs is I have no pain at all but stairs are a big problem. Walking so far has been ok. I just had a biopsy and waiting for results, but the thinking is I might have polymytisis which causes muscle atrophy. Good luck to you . Pasquale

The response I received was helpful, essentially felt better that this was not unique to our case. A little peace of mind is this gave our family and that’s
always welcome. Pasquale
Yes, I was diagnosed in 2002, I was asking for my son who has very high enzymes and he also has Celiac. His doctor put him on regiment or cortisone as well as being gluten-free.....
I had surgery two weeks ago for my parathyroid and elevated levels of calcium in blood tests. Surgery went very well except within 24 hours I developed a strong allergic reaction at the incision site. The area got very red , swollen and began to weep quite a bit.
