What causes loss of appetite and back pain along with muscle pain?
Patient: I have a loss of appetite,when I do eat it is extremely small portions, lack of good sleep due to my husband snoring, some muscle pain (without any strenuous activity) constant back pain (usually I blame arthritis) I can t wear any clothes tight at the waist without back pain, Doctor: Hi. It's quite possibly due to arthritis plus the fact that u don't sleep well may make u tired in the morning,irritable and cause loss of appetiteI suggest 1 tablet of Muscle relaxant e.g Flexon every day at night just before bed. Start off with 500mg 3-4 times a day and then taper to 250 mg after 2 weeks.Max dosage allowed is 750 mg 3-4 times a dayPlease make sure u don't have liver disease or porphyria before taking the medication
