Nerve Pain/Body Aches/Muscle Twitching. What is wrong with me?

Hello, I am a 20 year old male. Recently I've been experiencing some very strange symptoms. About 2 weeks ago I was diagnosed with 'Strep Throat' with no sore throat or upper respiratory congestion, around that time I had a really bad pressure-like headache and no other symptoms. I went to my local ER and they prescribed me Amoxicillin antibiotics. I began taking the antibiotics for several days and my symptoms still lingered. I've had blood work done, urine samples, and a CT scan done on my head, and they all came out normal.

The past few days I've experienced nerve pain all throughout my body more specifically in my legs and arms, muscle spasms, no appetite, a few dry coughs, I've been really weak and fatigued also, I had an ER visit last night and all they did was give me Ativan to calm me down, then I felt normal for a few hours. Does that mean all of this could be anxiety related? It sure doesn't feel like anxiety being that these symptoms are ongoing and constant, they feel very real.

The last few days I've still been experiencing nerve pain with deep chest pain and pelvic/prostatic pain along with heavy fatigue, body aches and blurred vision with no appetite. The last doctor I've seen only said that I may have some type of 'Viral Infection'. And all blood and urine work has came out normal.

I really feel like I'm being misdiagnosed here, has anyone experienced something similar? Could anyone give me suggestions as to what I should do? Please help! Serious replies only please!


Thank you!

I had a rapid strep test done at the ER about 2 weeks ago, and that came back positive with no symptoms of strep. I went to a regular doctor 2 days ago and he said he couldn't find anything extraordinarily wrong, that it was some type of viral infection that would go away in time. It doesn't seem like it's going away though, seems like it's slowly getting progressively worse. My current symptoms are: Nerve pain, muscle spasms, pelvic pain, white dry mouth and tounge, fatigue and some blurred distorted vision.. I'm not quite sure what else to do at this point, I feel like I'm dying.

Hi mgarrett and welcome to the forum.

The step throat could be a misdiagnosis, if there was no throat culture taken then or at the ER. If not, you should contact the treating doctor and discuss it!

A viral infection is also suspect in such a case (as the last doctor suggested), however, the possibility of a strep throat complication, such as acute glomerulonephritis, has to be ruled out.
(An Antistreptolysin O titre will rule this out).

Antibiotics will not do anything for a viral infection, nor will they reduce the risk of acute glomerulonephritis in case of the strep throat.
Antivirals are not as effective, if the viral infection is well into the replication stages. What did the last doctor suggest?

You may also want to do a search here in mehelp under Dr. Garth Nicolson, a leading expert in Mycoplasma infections and co-infections, which are notoriously difficult to detect and to treat.

Hope this helps, but please note that my comments are not intended as
a replacement for medical advice.

Best wishes.
Niko
