What causes muscle soreness despite a normal blood work?
Patient: Hi I am 64 years old and about 8 months ago I had a panel of blood work done with my bun test slightly elevated. About 2 months ago I saw my doctor again and complained of muscle soreness and possibly joint pain, lack of energy etc. Noticing the elevated bun test he did a complete work up on that with the bun test coming back as normal and all additional test in that regard also showing up as normal. My symptoms continue to persist. Any suggestions? Doctor: Hello,What I can infer from your complaints is that you may be having age related osteoporosis. It is great that all your blood workup is normal.I would suggest you to get your VIT D3 and VIT B 12 level. if already not done. If the reports show low levels, then you need vitamin and calcium supplementation.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Santosh S Jeevannavar
